Subseries 1: Conferences and events
- Containers:
- Box 266-332, 541-546
- Scope and content:
-
This subseries contains correspondence, schedules, planning documents, papers and lecture notes, and travel documents from conferences, speaking engagements, and other events attended by Buchanan during his career. This subseries also contains materials related to conferences organized by Buchanan or Betty Tillman, often in partnership with the Liberty Fund. Note that the subseries is arranged chronologically by date of the materials that exist in the folder, not by date of the conference or event. Event planning could stretch to a year or two before the event took place, especially for events occurring in the first half of the calendar year.
Tillman was responsible for scheduling and organizing much of Buchanan's travel, especially after he received the Nobel Prize in 1986. Similar files kept by Tillman on Buchanan's travel and event attendance are located in Series 6: Betty Tillman papers, Subseries 3: Conferences, events and travel.
