This collection documents the weekly lecture series held at Columbia University's Graduate School of Architecture from the early 1970s until the late 1980s. The lectures were typically held in Schermerhorn 501 on Wednesday nights during the fall and spring semester. Speakers would be invited by the Lecture and Exhibitions Committee and speakers included practicing architects, architectural historians and theorists, and well as preservionalists and other figures in the architectural sphere.
