What you can do is creating a named hash-table at each time you start
emacs and load a file containing (puthash that...) (puthash this...)
etc... Here an example of one of my files:

,----
| ;;; dvc-bookmarks-cache -*- mode: emacs-lisp; coding: utf-8; -*-
| (puthash 'MAIL '((color . dvc-excluded) (state . "open") (time-stamp . 
"2008.06.23")) dvc-bookmarks-cache)
| (puthash 'CONFIG '((color . dvc-source) (state . "open") (time-stamp . 
"2008.06.23")) dvc-bookmarks-cache)
| (puthash 'DVC '((color . dvc-mark) (state . "open") (time-stamp . 
"2008.08.15")) dvc-bookmarks-cache)
| (puthash 'SOURCES '((color . dvc-unknown) (state . "open") (time-stamp . 
"2008.06.23")) dvc-bookmarks-cache)
`----

The hash-table here is `dvc-bookmark-cache'
