About Us
The University of Calgary Press publishes scholarly work that makes a difference. We celebrate research that makes us think, that moves the conversation forward. Our books explore a sense of place in western Canada, the relevance of history in our lives, and our impact on the world around us.
As scholarly publishers, we have a responsibility to ensure that the research of our authors is accessible to the widest possible audience. We see online publishing as a timely, cost-effective - and sustainable approach to dissemination of the important work we publish. At the same time, we value the ineffable connection provided by a beautifully printed book. It doesn’t have to be either online publishing or a printed book. Some can be both, and each project is considered on its own merits. As part of our transformation from a traditional print-only publisher, we recently launched a new and fully on-line author and editor submission process.
The following areas have been identified as the publishing strengths of the Press. We welcome manuscripts in any of our series and subject specialty areas.
- The West
- Arctic and Northern Studies
- Energy, Ecology and Sustainability
- Military and Strategic Studies
- Contemporary Canadian Art and Architecture
- Africa: Missing Voices
- Latin American & Caribbean Studies
- Film Studies
We strive to be a sustainable organization. We choose recycled inks and papers for our publications, and practice sustainable practices in our administration and shipping areas. The University of Calgary Press is also committed to being intellectually sustainable. We believe that the ideas presented in our books should be argued over, defended, and quoted by future generations of scholars and thinkers.
The University of Calgary Press is proud to be a part of the innovative new Centre for Scholarly Communication of the University of Calgary’s Libraries and Cultural Resources.
