Email: emmaparker@dconc.gov

Emma holds degrees in Folklore and Library Science from the University of North Carolina at Chapel Hill. Before joining the North Carolina Collection, she worked at the Smithsonian’s Center for Folklife and Cultural Heritage and for an oral history nonprofit. Emma enjoys learning as much as she can about North Carolina and Durham County history. When not at the library, she can be found baking bread, starting (but only rarely finishing) sewing projects, swimming, visiting roadside attractions, or hiking at Eno River State Park.
