Maryland History Day Showcase

Maryland History Day is an affiliate of National History Day and a year-long educational program of Maryland Humanities. More than 25,000 middle and high school students create original projects that explore a historical topic of their choice on an annual theme. Professional development for teachers is offered through online courses and platforms, summer teacher institutes, workshops, and classroom outreach. Maryland Humanities, who produces Maryland History Day, creates and supports educational experiences in the humanities that inspire all Marylanders to embrace lifelong learning, exchange ideas openly, and enrich their communities. For more information, visit www.mdhumanities.org.

The Maryland State Department of Education partners with the Maryland Humanities to support History Day across the state. One of the ways that the MSDE has traditionally supported the program is to highlight student exhibits in the showcase of 200 West Baltimore Street during the month of November.  The physical display of these projects is limited to the “exhibit” category of competition and does not provide opportunity for the student entries in website design, performance, or research paper.  Due to COVID restrictions no entries were featured in the showcase in 2020.
