About

A refereed scholarly publisher, the University Press of Colorado publishes forty to forty-five new titles each year, with the goal of facilitating communication among scholars and providing the peoples of the state and region with a fair assessment of their histories, cultures, and resources. The Press has extended the reach and reputation of our supporting institutions and has made scholarship of the highest level in many diverse fields widely available. Vital also to our mission is publication for a broader community, including students, who use our books in their studies, and general readers, who find in them enjoyment as well as enlightenment.
During the past decade, many of our books have received awards and recognition from various learned societies and other organizations for their scholarship and contribution to their respective fields.
