Barbara Landis is a Carlisle Indian School biographer and a historian at the Cumberland County Historical Society. When she started working as a library assistant at the Historical Society, she would often get calls from the descendants of Carlisle students inquiring about their relatives. As she started answering these calls, she realized that she didn’t know anything about these children or this era of American history. This sparked her curiosity. Her son who was studying Computer Science set up a web page for her where she started uploading information about individual students from school records that were archived at the Historical Society. She teamed up with an anthropologist, Genevieve Bell, who had done her dissertation on Carlisle. Bell had gathered the names of all the students who were in the school records from the National Archives in Washington. They put together all the names and organized them according to the tribal nations they belonged to. Her website, www.carlisleindianschool.org is a great resource for information on the students and the school.
