2022 Judy Cheteyan Collections Intern

Every day, I have witnessed the wealth of local history and connections to the property, and just how important maintaining the collections is to Fallingwater as a whole. It has been incredible to be able to contribute to that.

Amelia is working on her master’s degree in library and information studies, with a focus on archival studies, previously receiving bachelor’s degrees in Russian and French. As part of her internship and with supervision from Rebecca Hagen, Amelia cataloged, organized and prepared for the digitization of previously unprocessed audio-visual archival material in the Fallingwater collection as part of the Historical and Archival Records Care Grants. In her free time, she enjoys hiking and spending time in nature.
