National History Day (NHD) is a year-long education program that engages students in grades 6-12 in the process of discovery and interpretation of historical topics. Students produce dramatic performances, imaginative exhibits, multimedia documentaries and research papers based on research related to an annual theme. These projects are then evaluated at local, state, and national competitions.

A number of primary document sets have been developed to accompany and assist with the articles in the North Dakota History: Readings about the Northern Plains State textbook. These documents, chosen to tell the story about particular historic events through the eyes of those who lived in the past, are intended to provide further research, inquiry, and understanding for students and teachers investigating the fascinating history of North Dakota.
The original manuscripts, photographs, maps, and artifacts for the document sets are located in the archives of the State Historical Society of North Dakota, Bismarck.
