Established in 1893 as a publisher of monographs by University of California faculty, UC Press emerged as a world-class university press in the early 1950s. Today we are one of the six largest university publishers in the United States, and the only one associated with a public institution. As the nonprofit publishing arm of the University of California system, we support the UC mandates for research, teaching, and public service. We publish books and journals in the humanities, social sciences, and natural sciences.
