What is the Tar Heel Junior Historian Association?
Since 1953, the organization known as the Tar Heel Junior Historian Association (THJHA) has been encouraging the study of local and state history by North Carolina's young people. Students in grades four through twelve can form a THJHA club, as long as it includes one adult supervisor. Membership in the association is FREE!
North Carolina has a rich and colorful history that spans many centuries. People who helped shape the history of the Tar Heel State include men and women who lived in your community. You can learn much by talking to a senior citizen, visiting a factory or farm, reading an old newspaper, or examining an artifact. Tar Heel Junior Historians make significant contributions to their communities, and in doing so, they learn about themselves. Many of North Carolina's junior historians have received national recognition for their outstanding achievements.
