The Milham Lecture Series, established in 1987, was named in honour of Mary Ella Milham, a professor of classics and ancient history at UNB. In the same year, Dr. Milham created the Milham Trust Fund, with the objective of developing and coordinating the Harriet Irving Library's holdings in the Book Arts, as well as making its collection of New Brunswickiana as comprehensive as possible. The lectures are usually held on UNB campus in Fredericton.
