The Trust established the Annual Peace Trust Lecture in 1991. Special guest lecturers speak on peace-related themes.
The lectures have been published and are available for sale from The Hobart Bookshop, Fullers Bookshop, or by contacting Peace Trust members.
Copies can also be read at the Tasmanian Library in Murray Street.
The lectures are usually held in the Spring of each year; look out for news of them in the media.
