Buckeye Council for History Education
We’re nuts about History!
Welcome to the home of the Buckeye Council for History Education (BCHE), the Ohio affiliate of the National Council for History Education. BCHE supports quality history education and encourages communication between those who teach history in the schools and those who promote history in the community and academia. BCHE provides a communications network for and works in conjunction with all advocates of history education. BCHE provides services, meetings, and activities for Ohio ’s history educators. A state coordinator and statewide steering committee lead BCHE.
BCHE renewed operations in 2004 after being dormant for several years. Originally established in the late 1990s, the organization hosted a series of annual summer conferences. That tradition was revived with the production of a summer conference in August 2005 in Ashland, Ohio .
We encourage anyone involved with or who cares about history education to join us and help make BCHE a vibrant and productive organization. History educators in public, independent, charter and parochial schools, colleges and universities, museums, historical societies, libraries and archives and other cultural institutions across Ohio are welcome. Annual membership in BCHE is $65 and allows you to attend all BCHE events for free! Click here for membership information and form.
The BCHE members, the Ohio Historical Society and the Ohio Humanities Council, with funds from the National Endowment for the Humanities We the People program, generously provide financial support for BCHE and our annual summer conference. We invite you to join us at the Ohio Historical Society in Columbus, Ohio on Friday, July 25 for the 2008 conference, The Individual in History: Actions and Legacies. BCHE will be hosting a pre-conference dinner on Thursday, July 24 with Beth Boland, a historian with the National Park Service. This dinner is FREE with conference registration
