The George Ernest Morrison Lecture series was founded by Chinese residents in Australia and others in honour of the late Dr G. E. Morrison, a native of Geelong, Victoria, Australia.

The objects of the foundation of the lectureship were to honour for all time the memory of a great Australian who rendered valuable services to China and to improve cultural relations between China and Australia.

From the time of its inception until 1948, the lecture series was associated with the Australian Institute of Anatomy. In 1948 responsibility for the series was assumed by the Australian National University.

Each year, a senior Sinologist delivers a major paper as part of the series. Originally, the papers were published annually in printed booklet form. Papers from 2000 are available online. See the list of papers below for details and links.

Limited stocks of the earlier lectures are available for US$7.00/A$7.00 each (or the equivalent in local currency), plus postage and handling, from:
