Sponsored by the Museum of Florida History, the Florida History Fair (FHF) is an annual, statewide activity that enhances the teaching and learning of history at elementary and secondary levels.
A Florida History Fair entry can address any person, event, or idea from any time or place in history, but it must also relate to the annual theme. The list of Florida topics was developed by staff of the Museum of Florida History and the Division of Historical Resources, Florida Department of State.
The following resources relating to this year's theme are available online from the State Library and Archives of Florida. Additional primary and secondary resources include primary resources from other institutions and key secondary resources.
The State Library and Archives of Florida is located on the second floor of the R.A. Gray Building, 500 South Bronough Street, Tallahassee, Florida, two blocks west of the State Capitol. Our public research facilities are open from 9 a.m. to 4:30 p.m., Monday through Friday. The State Library and Archives is closed Saturdays, Sundays, and on state holidays. Researchers are encouraged to check with the State Library and Archives to verify operating hours and records availability prior to visiting. Directions are available in an online map.
If you need additional assistance locating information for your process paper and annotated bibliography, talk to the librarian at your school or public library or use the Ask-a-Librarian service. A librarian can help you locate primary and secondary resources that may not be retrieved using search engines such as Google.
