Cambridge Press

Cambridge University Press is the printing and publishing house of the University of Cambridge. It is an integral part of the University and has similar charitable objectives in advancing knowledge, education, learning, and research. For centuries the Press has extended the research and teaching activities of the University by making available worldwide through its printing and publishing a remarkable range of academic and educational books, journals, examination papers and Bibles. For millions of people around the globe, the publications of the Press represent their only real link with the University of Cambridge.

The Press as world publisher
The Press is now in a real sense a 'world publisher'. English is the dominant world language of scholarship and science, and the Press seeks to attract the best authors and to publish the best work in the English language worldwide; it currently has over 24,000 authors in 108 countries, including well over 8,000 in the USA, over 1,300 in Australia, and over 100 each (and rising fast) in countries as various as Japan, Russia, South Africa, Spain and Israel. The Press publishes and distributes the whole of this varied output through its own network around the world: there are branches in North America, Australia, Africa, Brazil and Spain, all representing the whole list, supported by sales offices in every major centre; there are editorial offices in New York, Stanford, Melbourne, Cape Town, Madrid, Singapore and Tokyo, each contributing to it their own related publishing programmes; and the Press's websites are visited by over 2.5 million people worldwide.

The Printing House
Cambridge Printing has been through a correspondingly dramatic evolution in the last 150 years. In the 1850s, the University Press was predominantly a printing business, and primarily a printer of Bibles and prayer books. Today, the Press has a large modern Printing House with staff skilled in the newest computerised techniques; it was the first UK printer to install an 8-unit colour printing machine; it handles every kind of work from traditional craft binding to electronic database management; and it produces a vast range of scholarly and educational books and journals, not only for the Press's Publishing business but also for many other academic publishers and organisations throughout the world.

The future
The future will see more growth and diversity as the Press publishes in new formats and media, establishes a presence in emerging educational markets, responds to intellectual developments in the subject areas where it is already active, and continuously invests in technological change to improve its production, distribution and information systems. But the whole of this great expansion remains essentially an organic development, purposefully and directly related to the Press's statutory aims, and realised through a unitary, international printing and publishing organisation, with its physical and its constitutional centre in Cambridge.
