  Historical school of economics - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
The Historical school of economics was a mainly German school of economic thought which held that a study of history was the key source of knowledge about human actions and economic matters, since economics would be culture-specific and not generalizable over space and time.
The German historical school largely controlled academia in Germany, as many of the advisors of Friedrich Althoff, head of the university department in the Prussian Ministry of Education from 1882 to 1907.
The Historical School is perhaps the most abused theory in the history of economic thought, because it fits so badly with the now completely-dominating Anglo-American view(s); it is perhaps also the school that is the least known in English-speaking countries.

 SSRN-The Historical Foundation of Law by Harold Berman
The historical school of jurisprudence needs to be revived in order to reconcile the two other major schools - positivism and natural-law theory - and thus to create an integrative jurisprudence that will respond to the historical challenges that confront the Western legal tradition in the twenty-first century.
The historical school emerged as a separate school of legal philosophy in the early 19th century, after the positivist school had broken off from the natural law school.
In the late 20th century the historical school, which had predominated for almost a century, came under attack in Europe and America partly for exalting the spirit of the nation as the ultimate source of the development of law and partly for demeaning the positive role of the will of the lawmaker.

 Guide to School of Dental Medicine. Dental School Library's Historical Collection, 1798-1988, University of ...
The School of Dentistry opened in April 1878 with Dr. Essig as Secretary of the faculty (a position equivalent to the deanship).

The offering which the most prominent leader of the younger generation of the historical school has made to the founder and head of that school, Wilhelm Roscher, at the fiftieth anniversary of his doctorate, is a most fitting tribute.
Had the classical school indeed fully accomplished all that could be accomplished by their methods, the historical school would then be quite right in maintaining that further progress could be made only by a change of method.
It follows that the historical school, if they continue in their present course, will after twenty or fifty years of collecting material be as far as ever from a constructive theory.

First, to have an individual's historical school textbook library, often the result of a lifelong collecting effort, 'thrown to the wind' in terms of its disposal is a terrible misfortune.
Secondly, and perhaps more important, is the loss in many cases of historical materials that are unique and of immense value for future research and study.
Yet, today on an unfortunately frequent basis, school textbooks are carelessly being destroyed simply because they are consider without value or there is no existing plan as to how they might be preserved in an orderly manner.
