Abstract:
Whatever state they are located in, junior historian organizations all share a common purpose, and that is to stress the idea that events that happen at home are just as important and history-making as those that happen elsewhere. The first junior historical society was organized in Indiana in 1938 and soon spread to other states, including Texas and New York. In North Carolina the idea was first discussed in 1946. Lewis discusses the work of historians, educators, and legislators that culminated in the passage of an act establishing the Tar Heel Junior Historian Association in 1953.
