 Every year, the National Archives has the privilege of working with students as they develop their National History Day projects. This year's theme, Turning Points in History, connects with documents across our holdings and lends itself to creative interpretations as NHD celebrates its 50th year. The holdings of the National Archives include over 16 billion textual documents, photographs, audio and video recordings, maps and more. You can explore these records through the numerous online resources available for students and teachers. A special National History Day Docs Teach landing page is a great place to start. Docs Teach, our online tool for teaching the documents, includes thousands of examples of historical moments that served as catalysts for change. These experiences are also reflected in the National Archives catalog, our newly redesigned and modernized online tool to search our collections. The multiple blogs published by the National Archives, such as Rediscovering Black History and the Unwritten Record, just to name two, are another wonderful web resource. The Presidential Libraries and Museums tell a story as well through the holdings of the administrations they represent. And of course, our founding documents displayed in the rotunda of the National Archives in Washington DC. The Founders Online website provides searchable access to the writings and correspondence of the founding fathers. And the Milestone Documents feature on archives.gov captures these moments of the early republic, as well as other important turning points throughout American history. Best of luck as you begin your National History Day research, and remember, we're here to help. I can't wait to see what you find at the National Archives.
