LEGAL DISCLAIMER.

The Digital Research Library of Illinois History Journal™ was created to help 6th through 12th-grade public and private school students in Illinois find a topic for their Illinois History Day project.

This blog is a free-to-access, not-for-profit resource that is not academically funded. The compiled data in the articles are not subject to copyright unless otherwise stated.

The Journals' articles do not list any references or citations. This is because the goal is for students to learn how to research a topic and cite sources independently. If the articles included references and citations, students would be more likely to rely on those sources instead of conducting their own research. This would stifle their learning and prevent them from developing the skills they need to be successful in college and beyond.

From my experience, from participating in the first Chicago Metro History Fair to judging history projects at Illinois History Day in Springfield, Illinois, I have discussed this concept with some college history professors from around the country.

The majority agree that presenting history articles without citations (as newspapers and magazines do) would benefit students by teaching them the skills for good research practices and citation documentation.

"Incoming first-year college students should be equipped with the fundamental skills necessary to conduct research. Your approach to ensuring these skills are developed in elementary and high school is commendable." Thomas M, History Professor-at-Large.
