History

In 1922, on the campus of the nations oldest state university, thirteen faculty members and trustees met to charter a publishing house. Their creation, the University of
North Carolina Press, was the rst university press in the
South and one of the rst in the nation.
UNC Press was the rst scholarly publisher to develop an
ongoing program of books by and about African Americans, beginning in the late 1920s. By 1950, nearly
100 such volumes had appeared under its imprint. In
the 1970s, UNC Press took an early lead in publishing
feminist literary and historical works of distinction.
In 2009, the Press announced plans to bring back into
print all of its out of print titles as print-on-demand titles
through a series called Enduring Editions. These editions are published unaltered from the original and are
presented in paperback formats, bringing both historical
and cultural value to a new generation of scholars, students, and general readers.
