Outreach Services
Purpose of the Association
The association encourages young people to
study local and state history in order to help
them better understand and appreciate their
place in history.
North Carolina has a rich and colorful past that
spans many centuries. People who helped shape
the history of the Tar Heel State include men
and women who lived in your community. You
can learn much by talking to a senior citizen,
visiting a factory or farm, reading an old news-paper,
or examining an artifact. Tar Heel Junior
Historians make significant contributions to their
communities, and in doing so, they learn about
themselves. Many of North Carolina’s junior
historians have received national recognition for
their outstanding achievements.
You may be interested in starting a Tar Heel
Junior Historian Association club if you
• are affiliated with a public or private school
• are a member of a local historical society
• lead a youth group such as Girl or Boy Scouts
or 4- H
• enjoy learning about history
• have experience leading young people
Membership Benefits
Junior historians receive copies of the fall and
spring issues of the award- winning journal Tar
Heel Junior Historian. Clubs also receive a charter,
membership cards, and an adviser’s handbook
with project ideas and resources.
Junior historians have the opportunity to compete
in a variety of statewide contests during the
school year. At the Annual Convention, held
each spring, club members can meet other
junior historians from across the state, attend
history- based workshops, and be recognized for
their award- winning projects. Junior historians
and their advisers stay in touch with the museum
and other clubs via the museum’s Web site, at
ncmuseumofhistory. org/ thjha/ index. html.

Everybody’s War: North Carolina
and World War II
Everyday life changed during World War II as
families were separated, food and goods were
rationed, and travel and pleasure driving were
curtailed. North Carolinians from the moun-tains
to the coast helped the war effort by vol-unteering,
by salvaging and conserving, by
growing Victory gardens, and by buying war
bonds. Use the scrapbook of memories; the
stories of North Carolinians; and objects,
images, and words of the period to teach about
the changes that this war brought to our state.

From Farm to Factory:
Agriculture and Industry in
North Carolina
For most of its history, North Carolina has
had a predominantly rural economy. New
technology that made farming more efficient
also led to the growth of industry in the state.
In recent years, the state’s economy has
turned sharply away from agriculture. Learn
the factors— who, what, where, when, and
how— that contributed to the shift from farm
to factory. Identify objects, analyze historical
photographs, study geography and its rela-tionship
to food, and learn about life in a
mill village, the effects of child labor, and the
importance of technology today and in the
future.

music. Learn about clothing, housing, cook-ing,
