Sponsor

Funding for preparing this finding aid was provided through a grant awarded by the National Historical Publications and Records Commission.

Established in 1951, with the first lecture in 1953, the Brown & Haley Lecture Series was created and operated with funding from the Brown & Haley candy company of Tacoma, Washington, and fully endowed by them in 1981. Organized and hosted by the University of Puget Sound, also in Tacoma. Each speaker gives a brief series of lectures on consecutive nights. Originally conducted annually, the lectureship is now on a biennial schedule, usually in February, in odd-numbered years. The Brown & Haley Lecture Committee, comprised of UPS faculty and a representative from Brown & Haley, selects the speakers.

This collection cotains correspondence, memoranda, contracts, programs, and other documentation about the lectureship, speakers and the content of the lectures. The collection also includes multiple copies of 21 books subsequently published that were based on lectures given 1953 to 1979, and audio or video recordings of selected lectures.
