- The University of Pennsylvania Press was originally incorporated with the Commonwealth of Pennsylvania on 26 March 1890, and the imprint of the University of Pennsylvania Press first appeared on publications in the closing decade of the nineteenth century—among the earliest such imprints in America. One of Penn Press's first book publications, in 1899, was a landmark: The Philadelphia Negro: A Social Study, by renowned black reformer, scholar, and social critic W.E.B. Du Bois, a book that remains on the Press's list to this day. Penn Press is a leading imprint in the fields of Atlantic World history, Human Rights, Jewish Studies, Medieval and Early Modern history. Urban Studies, Contemporary Ethnography, and Economic and Business history. A member of the Association of American University Presses, Penn Press publishes 85 new books a year, and an active backlist of more than 3500 titles.
Penn Press also has a robust journals program, publishing twenty-eight peer-reviewed academic journals from a variety of disciplines, many of them in partnership with other Penn centers and departments. Prominent Penn Press journals include: Journal of the History of Ideas, Jewish Quarterly Review, Observational Studies, Dissent, Manuscript Studies, Early American Studies, Humanity, and Capitalism: A Journal of History and Economics. - Journals Information
