Abstract: "Bridging the Antietam” is a project funded by the National Endowment for the Humanities and designed to boost student performance in composition classes and produce curricula to support writing across the disciplines by focusing on memory and its constructions as expressed through the folklore, narratives, and interpretation of history of the Antietam Creek region (western Maryland, south central Pennsylvania, and eastern West Virginia) that Hagerstown Community College (HCC) serves. The project also focuses on how memory changes history and our lives located within that history. The project not only helps students improve thinking, reading, and writing skills, but it also engages faculty and the community in productive discussions related to local folklore and history. In Phase One of this project, students attending a Summer Bridge program at HCC will be the first to contribute their work to this site, primarily in the form of oral history interviews. As a local history project, the site will begin with basic information on a few select locations in the region, students will be encouraged to contribute work that further develops the site throughout the 2021-2022 academic year.
