Abstract
Quasars offer three types of clue to galactic evolution, (i) The formation of massive black holes in the centres of young galaxies; (ii) Clues to subgalactic structure from quasar absorption spectra; (iii) Implications for redshifts higher than 5. These are briefly summarised in this text.
