Scope and Contents
This subseries encompasses lecture tours and individual addresses. The dates of many of Fletcher's lectures are unknown, and the archivist used the content to assign tentative dates. Some papers may have been manuscripts for publication. Fletcher's early lecture tours, "Lectures on America" (circa 1878-1879) and "Lectures on Ancient America" (circa 1879), were primarily historical in content, reflecting her early studies in the history of man. There appears to be some overlap between individual lectures from the "Ancient America" group; two different lecture tours were given under the same title (see "Lecture series announcements"). Fletcher's lectures on Armenia (1894-1895) illustrate her interest in the oppression of Armenians which she encountered on a trip to Europe in 1894. The later lectures in this subseries were delivered to a number of organizations, from the Literary Society in Washington to the British Association for the Advancement of Science.
