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.

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.

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.
