UIC Special Collections and University Archives Welcomes Chicago Metro History Fair Students & Teachers
More than 20,000 students in grades 6-12 discover their local history through the Chicago Metro History Fair each year. Working individually or in small groups, History Fair students explore libraries, archives, historical institutions, and their communities in search of sources that will help them answer their own historical questions and explain their topic's historical significance.
The Special Collections and University Archives Department is pleased to continue its support of the Fair and National History Day, and has identified collections that will contribute to the primary source research for this year’s theme of “Innovation in History.” For a downloadable PDF list of sources, click here., field_56ba6f8fdb00c
