The Handa Centre for the Study of Terrorism and Political Violence (CSTPV) at the University of St Andrews in Scotland is the oldest academic research centre for the study of terrorism in Europe. Although inter-disciplinary in its expertise, it has a particular concentration of scholars working upon the history of terrorism. It also hosts the Global History of Terrorism Archive (GHTA): a huge collection of newspaper cuttings on terrorism covering the period from c. 1980 until the early-1990s.
