The most comprehensive tool for creating History Day projects is National History Day's Making History Series. The workbooks not only provide teachers with step-by-step guidance on how to conduct historical research, but also give students direction on how to create NHD projects. You can purchase an entire set or individual copies at the NHD online store: http://www.nhd.org/cart.

• A detailed History Day Calendar that provides a suggested implementation plan.
• A comprehensive Step by Step Guide for introducing History Day to your students.

Although these resources will be the most helpful at the start of each History Day year, teachers may want to visit them now to make sure they have covered all the program particulars this year. 

High School students Dieter Ulken & Yale Weiss of Cooperstown Central School will present their 2007 National award winning exhibit, An Airlift Saves A City - Berlin: Divided but not Conquered, at the Allied Museum, Berlin, Germany in 2008. The exhibit will be included in a special 60th anniversary exhibit in 2008-2009, and will subsequently become part of the museum's permanent collection.
 
In addition, the German Embassy in Washington D.C. has asked to include the project as part of a U.S. touring exhibit in 2008. A film and photos of the exhibit will continue on that tour after the actual display will be flown to Berlin, Germany.
 
Their project was also part of the 2007 Berlin Airlift Veterans Association Reunion in Norfolk, VA in October 2007. At the reunion, Ulken made a presentation to more than 100 Airlift pilots and other veterans, including the famous Airlift Candy Bomber Colonel Gail Halvorsen. Both Ulken and Weiss have been made honorary members of the Airlift Veterans' Association.
