Scope and content
Correspondence, notes, agenda, papers, itineraries document Spencer's attendance at conferences and meetings relating to her peace activities. These events were usually sponsored by government or non-governmental organizations. In the early 1990s, she made several trips to Russia and Eastern Europe to attend various organized conferences. She often combined these trips with research which mainly centred around papers she was writing at the time and her research on the Soviet dissident network. Notes relating to the specific trips have also been included in this series.
Some of the events that are documented include: the UNESCO conference in Dubrovnic in 1983; the Conference on the Foundation of the European University for Peace Studies in 1988 for which Spencer wrote the first curriculum; the Convention for European Nuclear Disarmament, 1990; Moscow Peace Conference 1997; NATO Nuclear Weapons Round Table, 2000.
