Existing on the Berkeley campus since 1973, the Office for History of Science and Technology (OHST) promotes research, intellectual exchange, and public engagement in the history of science and technology. In cooperation with other research units and teaching departments at Berkeley, especially the Department of History, which offers an MA/PhD in the history of science, the Office provides research facilities and administrative assistance to scholars and students, as well as organizing international exchanges, conferences, a public colloquium and a brownbag seminar series. Among the publications of the Office is Historical Studies in the Natural Sciences, a leading journal in the field, and a monograph series: the Berkeley Papers in History of Science. The Office welcomes postdoctoral fellows and other visiting scholars from all over the world.
