Emma is the name of BHS's ever-growing catablog of archives, manuscripts and special collections, including oral histories.The catablog is named after Emma Toedteberg, who was BHS's librarian for more than 50 years. She began as an assistant librarian in 1869, just a few years after BHS was founded, and was promoted to Librarian in 1889, serving until shortly before her death in 1936.
Try browsing the collections by the Category Oral History and if something peaks your interest, you are welcome to come listen to oral history collections in the Othmer Library.
