Get paid to create a digital exhibit

 Have you ever wanted to research a Montana or US history topic and share the details of your discovery with your students, including images and other primary resource materials as references? Now is your chance! 

Spend April 3 and 4, 2026, with the Montana History Portal staff learning how to create various types of digital exhibits using content from the History Portal.  

The History Portal contains over 102,000 items to help tell the story of a variety of topics – US History and World History can be taught through Montana primary source materials. 

Select a topic, gather the details, read, research and create an exhibit of your topic. Your exhibit will be published on the History Portal website, where you can access it, and it will be available to the public as a history lesson of its own.
