History

In 1912, the University of London took the iniative to assemble 53 representatives of universities in London to hold a Congress of Universities of the Empire. They decided they needed a "bureau of information." Its affairs would be handled by a committee representing universities at home and abroad. In 1913 the office opened as the Universities Bureau of the British Empire. They incorporated under license of the Board of Trade in 1919 and received a grant of £5000 to operate an office premises, with the understanding that the universities of the Empie would fund its maintenance. In 1948 the name was changed to Association of Universities of the British Commonwealth and in 1963 it changed to its current name.

In 1986, Queen Elizabeth II became patron of the Association of Commonwealth Universities.
