Dear Indian School Researcher:

Our part-time staff strives to keep current with inquiries and at the same time serve the patrons who visit the library. The volunteer program now enables us to answer limited reference requests for a moderate fee, payable in advance. This search service is limited to one name/event/subject per request. Our Indian School materials are extensive and not completely indexed. Upon receipt of payment and completed form, we will search the following:

Name and Tribe index
Indian School photographs
Indian School newspapers
Primary sources (see Manuscript link on Carlisle Indian School webpage.)
Other records (i.e. school catalogs, publications, articles, census data).

The fee for each search is $30.00 payable in advance. This covers research time and copies. If you wish to use our search service, please send a check or money order payable to the Cumberland Historical Society at the above address. Include a business-size, self-addressed envelope. Use the form which follows to print or type all names, dates and places regarding your request. Allow four to eight weeks for a reply.

We would be happy to assist you if you can come to Carlisle to pursue your research. The library hours are Monday, 3-9PM, Tuesday through Friday 10AM-4PM and Saturday 10AM-3PM.

Sincerely,

Library Staff
