Berg Publishers was an academic publishing company based in Oxford, England that was founded in 1983 by Marion Berghahn. Berg published monographs, textbooks, and reference works as well as academic journals. Concentrations were fashion, design, anthropology, history, and cultural studies.
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 and its e4books project accredited Berg in 2008. Berg won the Independent Publishers Guild's 2008 Publishing Technology E-Publishing Award for its collection of profitable digital strategies in March 2008.
As of March 2008, Berg published thirteen journals. In September 2008, Bloomsbury Publishing agreed to buy Oxford International Publishers, trading as Berg Publishers. Since 2013, all Berg titles are published under the Bloomsbury name (under the imprint Bloomsbury Academic).
