Scope and content
This series reflects Dr. Roots’ research interests that were expressed through addresses. Related material such as notes, manuscripts, abstracts, correspondence, and promotional material are filed with the corresponding address. The vast majority of the addresses in this series were given at meetings and conferences to fellow scientific researchers and pertained to Dr. Roots’ own research. Of the small number of remaining addresses, most were given at public lectures and also pertained to Dr. Roots’ research. Other address topics include a memorial speech for a professor, a presidential address and a talk on women in neurochemistry.

System of arrangement
The arrangement of the material was organized by Dr. Roots. The records were divided between “meetings” of professional associations and “other” which includes public talks and lectures at universities. Dr. Roots had a separate binder of address abstracts which were organized chronologically, this material from individual files for each abstract to ranges of dates. Desk drawer files are filed chronologically at the end of the series.
