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.
