Berg Publishers was an academic publishing company based in Oxford, England and Providence, Rhode Island that was founded in 1983 by Marion Berghahn.[1] Berg published monographs, textbooks, and reference works as well as academic journals. Concentrations were fashion, design, anthropology, history, and cultural studies.[2] Shortly after Marion's husband, the historian Volker Berghahn accepted a chair at Brown University in 1988, operations in Providence began.[3]
History[edit]
Book Industry Communication (BIC), a trade standards group for electronic commerce and supply chain efficiency, awarded Berg its BIC Product Data Excellence Gold Award in 2007–2008[4] and its e4books project accredited Berg in 2008.[5] Berg won the Independent Publishers Guild's 2008 Publishing Technology E-Publishing Award for its collection of profitable digital strategies in March 2008.[6]
As of March 2008, Berg published thirteen journals.[7] In September 2008, Bloomsbury Publishing agreed to buy Oxford International Publishers, trading as Berg Publishers.[8] Since 2013, all Berg titles are published under the Bloomsbury name (under the imprint Bloomsbury Academic).
