History

QEH was founded as a result of a gift of £100,000 given by Sir Ernest Oppenheimer to the University of Oxford. [2]

From 1958 to 2005 QEH was located at 20-21 St Giles. In 2005, the department moved to the former School of Geography building in Mansfield Road and became known as the Oxford Department of International Development. [3]
