German Historical Institute London

The creation of the institute was the idea of the German archivist Carl Haase in 1968.

A German-British Historical Association was founded in 1969 and, after gaining funding by the German government in 1975, the GHIL officially opened on 4 November 1976.

[1] The Institute promotes research on "medieval and modern history, in particular on the comparative history of Britain and Germany, on the British Empire and the Commonwealth, and on Anglo-German relations.

"[2] It is located at 17 Bloomsbury Square[3] and includes a public library specialising in German history.
