Research options and details:
* The Otter Tail County Historical Museum after school. Please call the museum the day before you go with your topic idea. They will have information pulled for you. The museum closes at 5:00, so you will need to be picked by 5:00. The museum's number is 736-6038. The Fergus Falls Public Library is another great place for research. Their number is 739-9387

Your History Day Source Requirements (minimum)
20 sources (balanced between primary and secondary) is your minimum requirement. I would suspect that most of you may have more. Please do NOT include information from encyclopedias in your project without speaking with us about this. The internet is an excellent place to find primary sources, but you should limit your number of internet sources and have balance between that and print as well.
Did you know you can access great resources from your own computer????
