For nearly 60 years, the Oregon State University Press has played a vital role in our region’s literary life by publishing books that focus on the history, cultures and landscapes of Oregon and the Pacific Northwest. Our mission distinguishes us from larger commercial publishing houses and ensures that works of scholarly and creative merit — especially those with an enduring regional interest — are actually published. The loyal support of our many publishing partners — authors, booksellers, librarians, readers and donors — enables us to excel in our mission. By making a tax-deductible gift to OSU Press — and by purchasing our books — you provide crucial financial support. Generous gifts to the OSU Press Distinguished Book Fund allow us to keep publishing exceptional works, explore new areas in which to expand, and develop innovative ways to bring our books to broader communities throughout Oregon and beyond. Special endowed funds at OSU Press have made possible noteworthy books on nature and the environment and support an annual internship for OSU students interested in careers in scholarly book publishing.
