The Fausold Family Collection documents many aspects of family life in western Pennsylvania.
Special thanks must go to Martin L. Fausold for his tremendous efforts in pursuing the creation of the Fausold Family Collection and the Fausold Alcove on the third floor of the Stapleton Library at Indiana University of Pennsylvania, and for his assistance in creating this website.
None of this would have happened with his persistence and inspiration. Fausold was a Distinguished Service Professor and professor emeritus of history at the State University of New York in Geneseo. Martin L. Houser scanned the Fausold Familyphotographs.
