Chicago Metro History Fair and National History Day ("Science, Technology, Invention in History: Impact, Influence, Change") 

Forwarded to STHC-L (Science, Technology, and Health Care Archives 
Forum) from ARCHIVES.

The home page for the Chicago Metro History Education Center, located 
in the Newberry Library, may be found at 
<http://www.uic.edu/orgs/cmhec/> . The Chicago fair (final 
papers/performances) takes place in April.  Projects which are based on 
the theme "Science, Technology, Invention in History: Impact, 
Influence, Change" may be eligible for competition in National History 
Day (June 13-17) <http://www.thehistorynet.com/NationalHistoryDay/>

Are any STHC archives and archivists involved in these National History 
Day projects?  If so, consider debriefing colleagues via STHC-L (make 
sure you don't reveal information about individual patrons or projects 
between now and June, however; remember, this is a serious 
competition). 

Likewise, if you want to offer your services/collections-access to 
students, teachers, etc., send an e-mail query to <hstryday@aol.com>

[Public aside to Society of American Archivists' STHC Roundtable 
co-chairs: perhaps we can wrangle someone to give a wrap-up report on 
National History Day at the roundtable meeting in Pittsburgh in 
August?].
