The University Press of Colorado is a nonprofit membership corporation.
Our mission is to advance and disseminate knowledge globally by publishing significant scholarly works and making them accessible.
Founded in 1965, University Press of Colorado, along with its Utah State University Press, University of Wyoming Press, and University of Alaska Press imprints, has published over 1,500 titles, primarily in anthropology & archaeology, writing studies, folklore, history, natural history, literature, and Indigenous studies. We are also building lists in environmental justice, public humanities, environmental humanities, democracy, and polar studies. University Press of Colorado publishes more than 50 new titles annually, and 80 percent of our budget is earned through the sales and licensing of new titles as well as our substantial list of books in print. The remaining 20 percent of our budget is contributed by our member institutions and individual donors who believe in and support our mission.
We rely on the support of our members, individuals, and other funding agencies to continue our legacy of publishing important scholarly books that have significance both within and well beyond the state of Colorado and the Rocky Mountain region.
