Alex Macdonald Memorial Lectures

This annual lecture series, inaugurated in 2009, was named in memory of former General Secretary of the Trades and Labor Council of Queensland, Alex Macdonald (1910-1969).

Each lecture was published in a subsequent issue of the Queensland Journal of Labour History.
