Scope and content
Dr. Ostry was much in demand at academic conferences, at conferences and meetings related to her work as a senior civil servant, and as an guest speaker at meetings of professional and community associations. While requests were often turned down in later years, due a very full official schedule, she still made time to appear at many functions, especially those in which she had a personal interest.
The addresses in these files are arranged chronologically by date. A file may contain a draft (or drafts) or the address indicated and other(s) on the same topic that are not dated, related correspondence, and some background research material.
From 1988 to June, 1990, when this series ends, Dr. Ostry made dozens to appearances at official government functions and other events, and only for the more important ones did she prepare a full text. Many of the files in B94-0016 for these years contain only correspondence and notes. There are also two files for 1988 containing notes only that Dr. Ostry had not identified with particular addresses
A list of addresses, from 1970 to the end of 1997, appears in Appendix A. Only a few addresses in this series are missing from that list, and a small number are present that were not included in it.
