If you have a young North Carolina history buff in your family, you’re likely familiar with the Tar Heel Junior Historian magazine. Published twice yearly since 1961 by the North Carolina Museum of History, this fun, fact-filled publication is a delight to anyone interested in learning about North Carolina’s past.
The Tar Heel Junior Historian magazine is a companion publication for the Tar Heel Junior Historian Association clubs found in schools around the state. With a different theme every issue, topics as wide ranging as Native Americans in North Carolina , the NC State Fair , and the development of public works in our state, are featured. Contests, an annual convention, and awards for history projects keep kids engaged and learning about all things North Carolina.
The issues published between 1961 and 1991 are now available in the North Carolina Digital Collection at http://digital.ncdcr.gov/cdm/ref/collection/p16062coll9/id/127176.
