Colcleugh's lectures regarding travels included "Up the Saskatchewan", "Through Hawaii with a Kodak", and "From Ocean to Ocean". She sold over 200 of the artifacts she collected during her travels to Rudolf F. Haffenreffer; these are held by the Haffenreffer Museum of Anthropology. Two islands in the Mackenzie River are named in her honor. Agnes Deans Cameron, Elizabeth Taylor, and Clara Coltman Rogers Vyvyan were Colcleugh's contemporaries in traveling through the Western Arctic. She affiliated with several clubs, including the New England Woman's Press Association, Rhode Island Woman's Club, Providence Fortnightly Club, Providence Mothers' Club, Sarah E. Doyle Club, and the Unity Club.
Her marriage to Frederick Colcleugh, the merchant and Canadian political figure, occurred at the age of 47. Colcleugh died in Florida in 1940. Provided by Wikipedia
