History[edit]
The press was established in 1946, with major reorganizations in 1967 and 1976. Today, it operates as a consortium with representation from each of the participating universities. The press is located on the west portion of the KU campus.[3]
The press largely publishes books that deal with American politics and military history, as well as books that have a regional focus.[4]
Notes[edit]
- ^ Washburn University, a public university located in Topeka, is funded by county sales tax and has its own board of regents.[2] It is thus not counted among the state universities.
