The Page-Barbour Lectures were founded in 1907 by Mrs.
Thomas Nelson Page. The lectures, which may be in any field
in the arts and sciences, are to present "some fresh
aspect or aspects of the department of thought" in
which the lecturer is a specialist.
The James W. Richard Lectures are funded by an endowment
established by the will of Este Coffinberry, probated in
1923. The will specifies that one lecture is to be in religion
and another in history, especially comparative history.
The University of Virginia Press has published print editions
of many of the lectures in both series.
