But I am not finding a link to the magazine from the TSHA site. Is it too obvious for me? What is the link? UPDATE: Here's a link to the order form: http://www.tshaonline.org/education/studentpubs/texashistorian.html Is the magazine available on-line? Glad you stumbled in!

The Texas Historian is a publication of the Texas State Historical Association which publishes the best writing from the organization's Junior Historian and History Day programs since 1940. Subscription information can be found on the organization's web site. I should know, I am the editor of the publication and the Texas History Day state coordinator who happened to accidentally stumble upon the information above.

While I've seen some kids (and, let's face it, some teachers, too) get prize fever, most of the students involved benefit from the level of depth and responsibility involved. The level of excitement when kids get the chance to work hard on something they find interesting, even if it's not in the textbook, is striking. You've rounded up some great resources, too -- thanks for sharing! Having judged local and regional National History Day competitions, I can attest to the value of the contest.
