Berg Publishers was an academic publishing company based in Oxford, Oxfordshire, England and Providence, Rhode Island, United States. It was founded in the United Kingdom in 1983 by Marion Berghahn.[1][2] Berg published monographs, textbooks, reference works, and academic journals. It focused on fashion, design, anthropology, history, and cultural studies.[3] Operations in providence began shortly after Berghahn's husband, historian Volker Berghahn, accepted a chair at Brown University in 1988.[2]
