Lecture notes
The collection consists of typescripts (most carbon copies) of lecture notes and articles, some with Underwood's handwritten annotations. Many are typed on stationery or notepaper from the Massachusetts Institute of Technology. Some of the texts are straight narrative, while others provide captions to accompany lantern slides. Annotations include statistics: for example, figures on tonnage and canal locks for the lecture on the Great Lakes freighter; and estimates of the length of time required to present a particular segment or image. Most of the dates are those on which the lecture was given, although some, like the reports on Joe Mell's visits to Boston and New York, may refer to the date of the incidents discussed. Some of the texts also include Underwood's comments on how the lecture was received, his trip to and from the city where he lectured, the hotel accommodations, etc.
