Carlisle History A living history of Carlisle, PA Home Research Interviews Blog Mapping Contact Login RSS Welcome To Carlisle History! This forum is dedicated to building a greater understanding of how Carlisle has changed over the years. This site was started as a class workshop in American Studies at Dickinson College , in association with the Downtown Carlisle Association , the High “I” Project , and the Cumberland County Historical Society . Each student conducted at least two formal interviews with people in the community (now available here) . In addition, inspired by our conversations with local residents and community leaders, each student developed research on a particular area of interest (now available here) . With all of this information compiled together, we hope that this site will begin to serve as a more personal cartography, or mapping , of the place where we reside.
