Faculty of History, University of Oxford

The Faculty of History at the University of Oxford organises that institution's teaching and research in medieval and modern history. Medieval and modern history has been taught at Oxford for longer than at virtually any other university,[1] and the first Regius Professor of Modern History was appointed in 1724. The Faculty is part of the Humanities Division, and has been based at the former City of Oxford High School for Boys on George Street, Oxford since the summer of 2007, while the department's library relocated from the former Indian Institute on Catte Street to the Bodleian Library's Radcliffe Camera in August 2012.[2]

Organisation

As with other departments at the University of Oxford, the Faculty of History is self-governing, being led by a rotating group of its academics. The Chair of the Faculty Board is the head of the History Faculty, who typically serves a three-year term.
