Our Story

Scholarly publisher with some fiction thrown in the mix

The University of Alabama Press was founded in the fall of 1945 with J. B. McMillan as founding director. The Press’s first work was Roscoe Martin’s New Horizons in Public Administration, which appeared in February 1946. In 1964, the Press joined the American Association of University Presses.

UAP has won numerous awards for its publications over the years and has developed a solid list of titles in archaeology, public administration, and several areas of literature and history. With a staff of 17, the Press publishes between 80 to 85 books a year and has a backlist of approximately 1,800 titles in print.

The University of Alabama Press has also fostered several publishing partnerships with such institutions as the Birmingham Museum of Art, Samford University, the Jule Collins Smith Museum, and the Pebble Hill Center for the Humanities at Auburn University. Additionally, UAP serves as the publisher of the Fiction Collective Two (FC2) imprint for experimental fiction.
