History Day staffer Laura Zeccardi passes away
We are sad to report the sudden passing of History Day Outreach Specialist, Laura Zeccardi. Over the past five days, University of Minnesota physicians discovered that Laura had an undetected bone tumor that ultimately triggered a blood clot into her lungs. Laura died peacefully early Sunday morning at the U of M hospital while she was being comforted by her family.

State Contest Guide: Posted!
The State Contest Guide has been posted on the State event page. If you are attending State History Day, or have a student or students attending, please take the time to read this guide. It provides important information about the day, including:
Exhibit Boards
Unlike the typical science fair boards that can be purchased at office supply stores, these exhibit boards have proportional panels and more height. This creates a more balanced display of images, sources and text.
The double-thick, corrugated boards are 48 inches tall and 72 inches wide. When displayed there are 23.5 inch wide side panels and a 25 inch wide center panel. Optional title panels extend to the maximum 40 inch width allowed by History Day rules and are 10 inches tall.
