Emma Alfreda White Coleman was an American photographer in Oklahoma Territory and later Oklahoma. She opened the Norman Art Gallery and took early photographs of the Oklahoma Sanitarium and the University of Oklahoma.
Emma Alfreda White Coleman was born in 1863 to Amanda and David White in Clarinda, Iowa. She married Albert Elmer Coleman and none of their children survived to adulthood. She moved to Norman, Oklahoma Territory, shortly after the Land Run of 1889. She worked as a seamstress after moving to Norman.[1]
