The University of Washington Press is the nonprofit
book and multimedia publishing arm of the University
of Washington. During the 85 years of its
existence,
the University of Washington Press has played an important
role as the major scholarly publisher in the U.S. north
of California and west of the Rockies. The Press has
published approximately 3,800 books, of which
about
1,400 are currently in print. Today we publish
about
sixty new titles each year.
From the beginning the Press has reflected the University's
major academic strengths. Building on those strengths,
the Press has achieved recognition as the leading publisher
of scholarly books and distinguished works of regional
nonfiction in the Pacific Northwest. Our titles cover
a wide variety of academic fields, many of which reflect
the strengths of our parent university. The Press has
especially distinguished lists in Asian studies,
Middle East studies, anthropology,
Western history and biography, environmental
studies, and natural history. We are
recognized as the foremost publisher in the country
on the art and culture of the Northwest Coast Indians
and Alaskan Eskimos, and as a leader in the publication
of materials dealing with the Asian American experience.
In recent years, the Press has established copublishing
and distribution relationships with a growing list of
art museums and other institutions around the world.
