This is an exercise in classification.

(Note: Scholars of history draw on the social sciences and vice-versa. Various social science subfields focus on historical phenomena and processes. These subfields are sometimes distinct from the fields of history above. Many social science disciplines have their own history subfields, both of their discipline and for using historical methods. Anthropological subfields especially are defined by the use of a variety of historical methods. )

    • History of sociology
      • Comparative and historical sociology, a recognized subfield of sociology
      • [[Subfields of sociology|Sociological subfields], historical perspectives are used in many of these subfields

(Historically, natural history is conflated with natural science.)
