EVENTS
- Mrs Sophia M.W. Gifford makes a donation of £250,000 to IASH in memory of her husband T.J. Carlyle Gifford, former Chancellor’s Assessor at the University of Edinburgh, and founder of Baillie Gifford & Co. The bequest supports many decades of postdoctoral scholarship at IASH, and forms the foundation of our external income to this day.
- The Institute supports conferences such as Diderot – les dernières années and the Fourth Conference of Irish Historians in Britain.
- The first weekly Work-in-Progress seminars are held, starting a tradition that lasts to this day.
- Given the small number of rooms at 17 Buccleuch Place, discussions begin about a possible new home for IASH large enough to accommodate the 50 IPSE Fellows expected to arrive in 1986. The former home of the Department of Artificial Intelligence in Hope Park Square is one of the options.
