The teaching of history at ÎÛÎÛ²ÝÝ®ÊÓƵ began in 1855, although the department itself was only formally founded at the turn of the twentieth century by Charles William Colby in association with Stephen Leacock and C.E. Fryer. In 1997 the Department of Classics was merged into the Department of History, and in 2010 the name was formally changed to the Department of History and Classical Studies.
Today it is one of the largest History departments in Canada, composed of 47Ìýfull-time faculty members, as well as a strong complement of visiting professors, faculty lecturers, and post-doctoral fellows.
