Syracuse University Press, founded in 1943, is a university press that is part of Syracuse University. It is a member of the Association of University Presses.[3] Domestic distribution for the press is currently provided by the University of North Carolina Press's Longleaf Services.[4]
SUP was formed in August 1943 when president William P. Tolley promised Thomas J. Watson that the university will organize a press to print IBM's Precision Measurements in the Metal Workings Industry.[5] Matthew Lyle Spencer of the School of Journalism became the first chair of the board of directors and Lawrence Siegfried was the first editor.[1]
The areas of focus for the Press include Middle East studies,[6] Native American studies, peace and conflict resolution, Irish studies and Jewish studies,[7] New York State, television and popular culture, sports and entertainment.[5][8][9] The Press has an international reputation in Irish studies and Middle East studies.[10]
The Press has never owned its own printing press, and books are printed by an offsite manufacturer.[9]
In March 2017, SU Press received Humanities Open Book Program award from the National Endowment for the Humanities.[11][12]
Since October 2020, SU press has produced audiobooks in collaboration with Sound Beat, which is produced at Belfer Audio Laboratory and Archive at Syracuse University Libraries.[13]
