The ways Buttolph’s actions have been recorded and interpreted reflect larger cultural constructions and interpretations of the data made from her collection must take seriously the experience of women in shaping libraries and the role of gender as a category through which those experiences have been recorded and narrated. At the time Buttolph began her official project, Billings was engaged in enrolling many new types of materials into the collections of the New York Public Library.

When Buttolph and her collection were featured in newspaper articles, journalists often retold a story about how Buttolph’s awareness of the changing century—specifically her first sight of the year “1900” printed on the menu of a restaurant on New Year’s Day—inspired her project of collecting for the library. Partly in response to shortages of space and partly perhaps trading on this family metaphor that Van Slyck articulates, the staff of the Astor library selectively allowed visitors past the main charging desk to sit and work in the alcoves.31. The milieu of the late nineteenth-century research library—and indeed specific features of the Astor Library and the larger NYPL organization into which it was subsumed—suggest how narratives that position the menu collection as exceptional (and its creator eccentric) are not reflecting simple absences of factual detail.

Billings directly supervised book purchases but also emphasized aggressive collecting of pamphlets, periodicals, reports and public documents. Buttolph was also invested in curatorial practices that focused on long-term preservation. In its contemporary context Billings’ acceptance of Buttolph’s project amid the other activities of the growing library would not seem unusual. More significantly though, this framing—as a philanthropic wife rather than a working woman who invested her own time and resources making a research collection—is no better. Buttolph and her younger sister Permelia (also a Normal School graduate) ventured as far west as St. Paul, Minnesota, in the mid-1870s.

The Buttolph Collection of Menus - The menu collection, consisting of 19,269 digital images, "originated through the energetic efforts of Miss Frank E. Buttolph (1850-1924), a somewhat mysterious and passionate figure, whose mission in life was to collect menus." Though, as historian Abigail Van Slyck points out, “while it is easy to imagine a donor relishing the comparison of his gift to one of the great European libraries of the past, the appeal of [this] library formula is more deep-seated than mere vanity.” Such designs Van Slyck argues “were particularly successful at articulating the family metaphor that sustained nineteenth-century philanthropy.” The combination of imposing public space, careful control of where visitors were allowed to move within the building, and domestic coziness (within the smaller alcoves), “library users were at once in a public institution and in the bosom of an extended family” (headed by the munificent donor).
