In the late 1890s she moved to England and spent much of her spare time searching through British libraries, including the Admiralty. There Lee began to study and transcribe a number of journals and logbooks from many of the British historical voyages. Her books are published under either the name of Lee (maiden name) or Marriott (married name) and copies of most of her works are held at the Mitchell Library. Through her studies Lee developed a considerable knowledge of systematic botany and botanical taxonomy and was able to update Allan Cunningham's nomenclature. Lee was appointed a Fellow of the Royal Geographical Society of London 1913 and was only the second person to be made an honorary Fellow of the Royal Australian Historical Society. 1897 1897 Career position - First piece of work published: The Bush Fire and other verses 1906 1906 Career position - The Coming of the British to Australia, 1788 to 1829 published 1912 1912 Career position - Commodore Sir John Hayes, His Voyage and Life published 1913 Award - Fellow, Royal Geographical Society of London (FRGS) 1915 1915 Career position - The Logbooks of the 'Lady Nelson' published 1918 Award - Honorary Fellow, Royal Australian Historical Society 1920 1920 Career position - Captain Bligh's Second Voyage to the South Sea published 1925 1925 Career position - Early Explorers in Australia published 1927 1927 Career position - The Voyage of the Caroline published
