Yorkers began in 1942 and SHIP is following in its fine tradition of providing students with opportunities to study, explore, serve in, compete in and enjoy history-related and heritage-related activities.   SHIP’s program provides opportunities for students to investigate all aspects of history and heritage with a special focus on New York State and local history and a particular emphasis on hands-on activities that relate directly to the standards-based history curriculum offered by the New York State Department of Education.	2.12.08 Competition Packet added Important Changes for 2008 added Ship Convention Hotel Registration added 1.16.08 History Bowl Prep Sheet added 3.2.07 - Competition Packet Updated 2.24.07New Links 2.7.07 Winter Newsletter 2007 online 1.1.07 Fall Newsletter 2006 online 5.29.06 - 2006 Contest Winners 5.29.06 - Photo Galleries updated 2.20.06 - Winter Newsletter 2006 online 1.12.06 - Fall Newsletter 2005 online 3.13.05 - Winter Newsletter 2005 online 12.1.04 - Fall Newsletter 2004 online 5.4.04 - The Message Board has launched! 3.15.04 - Register your competitions today! 2.27.04 - Candidate Bios and Pictures up 2.11.04 - Winter Newsletter 2004 online 1.31.04 - Sign up now for our mailing lists to receive the latest information!
