University of New Mexico press
Variant namesThe University of New Mexico Press was formally established by the University's Board of Regents in 1929; printing equipment first appeared on campus in 1930. The first UNM Press publications were University pamphlets and catalogs with an occasional scholarly publication. The first hardback book produced and distributed by the Press was New Mexico History and Civics by campus authors Lansing Bloom and Thomas C. Donnelly in 1933. The Press's first director was sociology professor Paul A.F. Walter Jr., who was succeeded by professional printer Fred E. Harvey in 1933. Harvey was replaced for the 1945-46 term by English professor Dudley Wynn. Harvey then resumed leadership of the Press until 1949, at which time he became assistant director, a position he retained until his retirement in 1956. The Press is the oldest publishing house in the Southwest/Rocky Mountain region bounded by Oklahoma, the west coast, Canada, and Mexico. UNM Press focuses on printing non-fiction books with a regional focus and books by UNM faculty.
