Historical Studies in the Physical and Biological Sciences is an academic journal published by the Office for History of Science and Technology at University of California, Berkeley devoted to the study of the intellectual and social history of the physical sciences (including physics, chemistry, and astronomy) and the biological sciences (including biology, biophysics, and genetics), from the 17th century to the modern era.
From 1969 through 1985 its title was only Historical Studies in the Physical Sciences, the "Biological" was added from Volume 16 onwards to encourage more disciplinary variety in submissions.
Its early volumes included seminal articles by Thomas Kuhn, John L. Heilbron, and Paul Forman. It publishes biannually today and is regularly cited.
