Welcome to the 50th Anniversary Timeline for the Institute for Advanced Studies in the Humanities. After digging out our archives from the attics of Hope Park Square, we decided now would be the perfect time to make them available for you.
While creating this timeline, we have each found our own favourite aspects to the history of IASH. Whether you’re one of our Fellows, a potential applicant, or just visiting, we hope you enjoy delving into the history of the Institute; and that you too come to discover what it is about IASH that continues to make “ideas grow” a half century on from its inception.
To keep up to date with the full range of 50th Anniversary events, you can check out the website, or follow us on our social media channels on Twitter and Facebook. If you have any inquiries about the Institute, or memories of your own that you wish to share, please get in touch via iash50@ed.ac.uk.
“There are very few IASs in the world which can boast a fifty-year history and affiliation to a world-renowned university…. To this day, IASH remains the only IAS in Scotland and, despite the creation of newer universities and higher education centres, IASH stands alone as a top destination for post-doctoral scholars and should be viewed as one of the earliest facilitators of academia in Scotland, and in Scottish academic studies.”
