Colorado Gives Day (12.5.2017) is coming! Colorado Gives Day features a $1 million Incentive Fund. Every nonprofit receiving a donation on Colorado Gives Day will receive a portion of the fund, increasing the value of every dollar donated. Colorado Gives Day has grown to be the state's largest one-day online giving event, raising more than $200 million since it began in 2010.
As state support for higher education in Colorado faces serious challenges—at the same time that technological innovations and changing purchasing habits at academic libraries threaten the revenues of scholarly publishers—the University Press of Colorado has made the strategic decision to focus on our most financially successful lists. Costly but important areas of publication like our highly regarded program in anthropology and archaeology require other sources of support to close the gap between revenues earned from book sales and the full cost of publishing. To that end, the University Press of Colorado has initiated a margin of excellence campaign in support of this vital program. Your donations ensure that the University Press of Colorado and Utah State University Press will continue to publish quality books in these core fields of archaeology and anthropology.
Testimonials
"Over the last several decades the University Press of Colorado has made outstanding contributions to Mesoamerican archaeology by producing an array of significant scholarly works. One glance at the list of recent releases quickly reveals a host of erudite authors who have contributed publications that are both provocative and remarkably ingenious. This press is truly becoming a leader in the academic publishing world for those interested in new initiatives in archaeology."
"The University Press of Colorado has a long history of publishing Mesoamerican archaeology and over the last two decades it has become the leader in the field. Time and time again, when I talk to colleagues who have a book manuscript they are preparing for publication about aspects of Mesoamerica, UPC is their first choice as a publisher. Many of the most important and innovative books on Mesoamerican topics over the past 15 years have been published with UPC and some are destined to become important historical references."
