<i>Chronicling America</i> in their National History Day projects, including cash prizes for exceptional use of the newspaper archives for junior and senior students in all submission categories, as well as certificates of recognition for all National History
Day participants who incorporate <em><span style="font-family:"Calibri","sans-serif"">Chronicling America</span></em> in their project research.<o:p></o:p></p>
