Questions to Consider

Things to ask yourself when preparing for Vermont History Day.

  • What topic in US history, world history or Vermont history do you want to research?
  • How does your topic connect to the annual theme? The 2025 theme is Rights and Responsibilities in History.
  • Can you find enough sources about your topic? Can you find enough evidence to support your claim?

Research Sources

Historians use both primary and secondary sources to learn about history. For Vermont History Day, YOU get to be the historian who develops a thesis, analyzes primary and secondary sources, and uses evidence to support your argument.
