2021 Judy Cheteyan Collections Intern

"

I’m really interested in how museums and other cultural institutions manage their physical and digital collections, so this internship really allowed me to get a full grasp of the archival process.

Lily is studying library and information science with a focus in cultural heritage informatics. Under the supervision of Rebecca Hagen, she catalogued, organized, digitized and re-housed previously unprocessed archival material in the Fallingwater collection. No stranger to higher education, Lily has a master’s degree in medieval studies from the University of Toronto.
