This section is divided into two subsections. The first is teaching material for university courses at Manchester in the 1930s and Cambridge, mainly the 1940s-1950s. It includes notes for her lectures on relativity and quantum theory. The second subsection comprises public and invitation lectures. The earliest documented is a lecture on developments in quantum theory given to the Adams Society, St Johns College Cambridge, 1927 and the latest dated lecture is at the age of 90 to the British Universities Summer School in Theoretical Elementary Particle Physics, Pembroke College Cambridge, September 1993. A number of her later lectures are on figures in the history of mathematics including Emmy Noether and Augustus de Morgan.
