During Georgia Archives Month, GHS will release three episodes in a series of videos called Help! I’ve Been Assigned a Research Project.This video series is designed to help guide students through the process of completing historical research.

Watch two contestants play the exciting game Select Your Topic! You will learn the dos and don’ts of selecting a topic for your historical research project.

We can learn a few basic rules for selecting historical research topics from our two typical students:

1. Pick a topic that matches the assignment.
2. Pick a topic with historical significance.
3. Pick a topic that you are interested in.
4. Pick a topic that is narrowly focused.
