The Harlow Shapley Visiting Lectureship Program is organized by the Education Office of the American Astronomical Society. The Lectureship Program began in the early 1970s - then called the Program of Visiting Professors of Astronomy. This program was funded by the National Science Foundation in the beginning, and continued funding comes from endowments from the American Astronomical Society, from the Shapley Endowment Fund, and from fees paid by host institutions. As part of the Lectureship Program, participating astronomers give lectures to promote the understanding of astronomy. These lectures are hosted by colleges and universities across the United States and Canada.
