Historical Information

The Loudoun County Public Schools' Social Sciences Fair began in 1996 as an outlet for Intermediate and High School students to research social science topics of interest to them. There are several award categories, including Local History , Movers and Shakers , Citizenship and Government , and Wars and Revolutions , as well as special commemorative topics that change annually. Additional awards are presented by organizations such as Daughters of the American Revolution, the Loudoun County Historical Society, and the Waterford Foundation. Since 2008, the Thomas Balch Library and the Thomas Balch Library Advisory Commission have jointly presented an award honoring excellence in local history, chosen from all the categories at large. In addition, the Black History Committee of Friends of the Thomas Balch Library has presented awards for outstanding submissions on a topic related to African-American History.
