Biographical / Historical
The Association of Cambridge University Assistants evolved in 1944 from the New Museums Club, an association established in 1893 for University assistants, originally from the laboratories and workshops on the New Museums and Downing Sites. The Association was a registered trade union and represented the University's clerical, library and secretarial staff; general and ancillary staff; and technical and related staff. The Association was also known by the acronym ACUA. Members voted in favour of a merger with the union Unite in 2007.
