From then until 1950 an Aquinas Lecture was delivered each year. The new series of the Aquinas Memorial Lectures was established in 1979 by the Aquinas Library and continued by the Australian Catholic University McAuley Campus. The details of these subsequent lectures are listed below. Also available is "The Rise and Fall Of The Aquinas Library" by Frank Hills.
