Lehigh University Press


Lehigh University Press is the publishing house of Lehigh University. It is primarily known for publishing scholarly works related to eighteenth-century studies, local history, and science and technology in society.

History

Founded in 1985, Lehigh's university press was a member of the Associated University Presses consortium; other members included Bucknell University Press, University of [Delaware Press], Susquehanna University Press and Fairleigh [Dickinson University Press]. When Associated University Presses ceased most new publishing in 2010, a new distribution agreement between Lehigh University Press, Bucknell University Press, University of Delaware Press, and Fairleigh Dickinson University Press was struck with Rowman & Littlefield.
The current director of the press is Lehigh English professor Kate Crassons. The press's three main areas of focus are eighteenth-century studies, local history, and science and technology in society.
