High School History Day
Thursday, February 20, 2025
10am-2pm
You may have thought that history is old. Stuck in the past. Stories of long-dead people that just keep getting told over and over again. But it isn’t like that at all. There are always new ways of looking at the past, new kinds of sources being discovered, new people asking different questions. History is about exploration and discovery – join us to discover new things about people you thought you knew and events you thought you understood. Because history never gets old.
Entire classes (grades 10-12) and individual registrants welcomed!
Registration will open in January 2025!
If you have any questions please contact history-inquiries@uwo.ca.
A list of lectures and workshops coming soon!
