Project Overview

In 2020, thirty students working on National History Day projects came to a research Hullabaloo at Rochester Public Library. Hullabaloos are opportunities for students to visit public and academic libraries to receive help on their National History Day projects. Students that attend hullabaloos can work with librarians to locate relevant resources, receive one-on-one feedback from MNHS staffers or mentors about their projects (called ?Power Conferences?), and attend specialized talks about various aspects of History Day projects.
