Established in 1984 under the Interdisciplinary Minor Program at the University of Central Florida, the Judaic Studies minor created a series entitled "Distinguished Lecturers". In the early 1990's, the Judaic Studies minor separated from the Interdisciplinary Minor Program to become its own Judaic Studies Program at UCF. Distinguished Lecturers series is still continuing in 2008.
There is only one series to this collection. It is arranged in chronological order.
Series I: Lectures, 1985-2004 contains correspondence, newspaper clippings, photographs, and advertisements for the Distinguished Lecturers Series sponsored by UCF's Judaic Studies Program. The Distinguished Lecturers Series is held annually.

This series holds correspondence between the Office of Judaic Studies and potential guest lecturers at the Distinguished Lectruers series at UCF sponsored by the Judaic Studies Program. Many folders also contain photographs, newspaper clippings, and advertisements for the lectures. Notable visitors include Elie Wiesel, Yehuda Bauer, Aharon Appelfeld, and Israeli Ambassador to the United States, Zalman Shoval. Files are titled mostly by the name of the speaker and arranged chronologically. However, a folder of overview materials begins the series, and a folder relates to a joint program with Canadian Studies. The folder on Hannah Senesh relates to a reinactor portraying important events in her life.
