Sir David Smith: IASH is “the jewel in the crown” of the University.
Maria Magoska: “The atmosphere was fantastic and the administrative staff at the Institute were very helpful.”
Udo Thiel: “It was an invaluable experience to be able to communicate with scholars in other areas of the humanities – not only at formal meetings but also at the regular Tuesday lunches and in the evenings after work. Of all the places I have visited to do research on eighteenth-century matters, the Institute has been the most congenial.”
