Visualizing a Mission:
Artifacts and Imagery of the Carlisle Indian School, 1879-1918

 

This catalogue, an online version of the printed original, is the work of the members of the Art Historical Methods Seminar at Dickinson College. The annual seminar is designed to introduce students to the practice of preparing an exhibition and catalogue. Working with objects drawn from three separate collections, members of the seminar organized the material into major themes and prepared the following thematic essays and exhibition didactics. Their research and planning have been supported by a variety of gifted and dedicated college and museum professionals. Please contact Phillip Earenfight [email] with any quesitons you have about the exhibit or catalogue.

We have provided a pdf copy of the catalog below as well as the text of the individual essays contained therein. To view the catalog or essays, please click on the titles below.
