The History of the University Unit was established in 1995 to promote and facilitate histories of the University, and is funded by the Deputy Vice-Chancellor (Global Relations).
The Unit administers an annual round of study grants, organises a series of public Occasional Seminars, and publishes research in two series, Occasional Papers and Working Papers. Its website is an online resource of research on all aspects of the University's rich past, its staff and students, buildings and grounds.
