University of Calgary Press
 Known as the ‘heartland publisher', the University of Calgary Press (U of C Press) has
a vested interest in books which focus on the Canadian and American West. Titles on
history, art, poetry, literature, biographies, and heritage are some of the many topics
which pervade the diverse publications of the University of Calgary Press. With help from
many dedicated and determined individuals, the U of C Press has grown from a small
unknown, into an ever-increasing, vibrant publishing house affiliated with reputable
Canadian and international authors.
 Throughout the last decade, the U of C Press has experienced increasing success.
Between 1998 and 1999, only five books were published; this rose to 27 titles in 2002
along with annual sales of $ 300,000 CDN. The U of C Press has adopted many goals over the
years including the desire to help young scholars, to establish markets outside of
Canada and to return information and knowledge back to the community.
 Along with books and novels, the U of C Press has produced the largest Canadian digital
history site ever created. Our Future, Our Past is a dynamic website,
with a wide collection of heritage material including a collection of Alberta
newspapers, access to Alberta statutes from 1906 to 1990 and Alberta bills from 1950
to 1990,
an archival collection of folklore, access to material derived from Western Canadian
museum and galleries, and 30,000 air photos of primarily Albertan urban areas.
The U of C Press has also developed the Our Roots website which allows viewers to
easily access information using key words, dates, subjects or authors of interest.
This resource explores
Canadian landscapes, resources, and people in depth.
While it is a scholarly press, those associated with the U of C Press believe the books
they publish benefit more than just the academic community, and are an important
resource for government, business, industry and the larger community.
