Fairbanks history event explores breaking barriers
February 11, 2020
A celebration of Fairbanks history takes place this week at the J.P. Jones Community
Center, 2400 Rickert St., Fairbanks. The five-day competition and exhibit ends Feb.
14 with an awards ceremony. A complete schedule can be found here.
The theme for this year's Fairbanks History Day contest is "breaking barriers." More
than 250 students in grades K-12 are expected to participate in a diverse array of
exhibits and other categories, including documentary film making, performances, essays
and websites.
Winners will go on to compete at the state and national level, with the final round
taking place in Washington, D.C., this June.
The Arthur T. Fathauer Endowed Chair, in the Department of History, is the title sponsor
of Fairbanks History Day. For more information please visit the Fairbanks History Day website.
