Elsevier…History
•
Elsevier’s name was inspired by the illustrious
House of Elsevier, established in 1580 when
Lowys (Louis) Elzevir began selling books to
university scholars.
•
Authors ranked among the outstanding
scholars of the day, including Galileo, Erasmus
and Descartes.
•
Jacobus George Robbers, a Dutch bookseller
and importer of English language books,
founded the modern Elsevier Company in 1880.
•
In the 1950s and 60s Elsevier took its first steps
toward becoming a global company,
establishing the Elsevier Publishing Company
NV and the Elsevier Publishing Company in
New York.
