Institute for the Study of the Americas
"The Institute was founded in August 2004 through a merger of the Institute of Latin American Studies (ILAS) with the Institute of United States Studies (IUSS), both of which had been founded in 1965 at 31 Tavistock Square. Like its predecessors, the new Institute forms part of the University of London's School of Advanced Study. In 2008, the Institute launched its United States Presidency Centre to provide a forum for research and analysis of the presidency in terms of its historical, political and cultural significance."
