In May 1961 the schools of History and Political Science were amalgamated to form the School of History & Political Science in the Faculty of Arts (Council 8 May 1961, 61/68), under the direction of the Professor of History, JHM Salmon. Within the school the disciplines made up two separate departments - the Department of History and the Department of Political Science. In March 1963 the two departments were separated again, but whereas the School of History became a school, political science remained the Department of Political Science - though now under the control of the Dean (Council 11 March 1963, 63/3). The School of History and Political Science therefore ceased to exist from this time.

The department therefore ceased to exist from this date. Controlling Organisation: UNSW - 09/03/1964-09/05/1966

On 9 November 1959 the Faculty of Arts was created by Council, to be effective from 1st January, 1960 (resolution 59/204ii) and Philosophy became one of the foundation schools within this new faculty. At the same meeting Professor Thornton was also appointed foundation professor of Philosophy and head of school (resolution 59/182). On 9 March 1964 Council decided to create two departments within the School of Philosophy - one as the Department of Philosophy and the other the Department of History and Philosophy of Science (resolution 64/34). On 9 May 1966 Council decided that the latter department would become its own independent school (resolution 66/86). Consequently the Department of Philosophy as an independent unit ceased to exist from this date, as it was esstentially absorbed into the remainder of the school. On 10th December, 1990 Council changed the name of the Faculty of Arts to the Faculty of Arts & Social Sciences (resolution CL90/108ii). As part of a Faculty of Arts & Social Sciences restructure, the School of Philosophy was disestablished effective 31 January 2007. It was amalgamated with the schools of History and History & Philosophy of Science to form the new School of History and Philosophy (6 February 2007 Academic Board papers).
