History

[edit]

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.[4] 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]

About

[edit]

The areas of focus for the Press include Middle East studies,[5] Native American studies, peace and conflict resolution, Irish studies and Jewish studies,[6] New York State, television and popular culture, sports and entertainment.[4][7][8] The Press has an international reputation in Irish studies and Middle East studies.[9]

The Press has never owned its own printing press, and books are printed by an offsite manufacturer.[8]
