==Storia==

L'istituzione è stata fondata nel 1916 come la '''School of [[Orientalistica|Oriental Studies]]''' al 2 di Finsbury Circus ([[Londra]]), [[Inghilterra]]. La School ottenne il suo Statuto Reale il [[5 giugno]] 1916; ammise i suoi primi studenti il [[18 gennaio]] successivo e fu inaugurata formalmente da re [[Giorgio V del Regno Unito|Giorgio V]] alla presenza di [[George Curzon, 1stI Marquessmarchese Curzon ofdi Kedleston]], Earloltre Curzon of Kedleston, tra gliad altri funzionari governativi, appena un mese dopo, il [[23 febbraio]] 1917. L'Africa fu aggiunta al nome della School e nel 1938 la SOAS si trasferì permanentemente a Thornhaugh Street, tra Malet Street e [[Russell Square]].

For sometime in the mid-1930s, the School was located at Vandon House, Vandon Street, London SW1. However, its move was held up by delays in construction and the half-completed building took a hit during the [[The Blitz|Blitz]] in September 1940. The School was, on Government's advice, evacuated to [[Cambridge]] and returned to London to resume work in July 1940. Most colleges of the [[University of London]] were evacuated from London in 1939 and billeted on universities all over the provinces. SOAS was transferred, but without its library, to [[Christ's College, Cambridge|Christ's College]], Cambridge. When it became apparent that a return to London was possible, the School returned to the city and was temporarily housed for some months in 1940-41 in eleven rooms at Broadway Court, 8 [[Broadway, London|Broadway]], London SW1.
