Welcome to the 1851 Alumni website

The Alumni Association is here to help you remain in touch with the 1851 Royal Commission and with its extensive worldwide community of recipients of awards from our scholarship schemes. These were introduced in 1891 and continue to this day. Over 2000 major awards have been made, and it was decided in 2003 to establish a web-based association of our distinguished Alumni. This website allows the Commission to communicate with all its award holders and equally, alumni to contact each other. From this site alumni can keep up do date with the current work of the Commission as well as obtain details of Alumni events.

Please use this site to find out more about the association, including:

details of current and past members; and
copies of the newsletters;
report of the 2009 Alumni Science Evening

If you are a signed up 1851 Alumnus, you should now be able to change any of your details through our online database. This will help us to keep in touch with you and let you know latest developments in the Royal Commission, including details of any events in which you may wish to participate. If you are an 1851 Alumnus and not yet signed up to access the website please email us for further details.

If you are interested in applying for an 1851 Royal Commission award, then you need to go to the Royal Commission for the Exhibition of 1851 Main Site.
