A new time for National History Day in New York State.


Hi everyone. Many of you may have come across me at contests, teacher trainings or perhaps I have visited your classroom. I am John Buchinger and I am the Associate Director of Education at The New York State Historical Association.
In October, Tobi Voigt the legendary Statewide Coordinator here at NYSHA left to peruse her love of Beet Farming in Wyoming.
OK that’s not true. She got an awesome job making gobs more cash as the Director of Education for The Detroit Historical Society. And as far as I know, the job has very little, if anything to do with beets.
So I will now be stepping into the role of Statewide Coordinator, along with Sarah Loveland who is our official contest manager and co-coordinator. If you don’t know Sarah, she is a powerhouse of organization, energy and all around History Day love.
So as we are firmly in the contest year I just want everyone to know that we are here to answer your questions, help you with your topics and create an improved overall experience at each level of competition.
In coming weeks we will share plans for our enhanced contest. Travel assistance for students and a new video contest I am particularly excited about!
In the meantime, if you have any immediate needs, please feel free to email us
