The National History Day program was born in 1974, 50 years ago this year, as a modest venture in the area of Cleveland, Ohio under the direction of Case Western Reserve University History Professor David Van Tassel. But it was a dream that began to expand

it celebrates its Golden Anniversary, is it of direct importance to the archival community?</div>
