The University of Pennsylvania Press was originally incorporated with the Commonwealth of Pennsylvania on March 26, 1890—among the earliest such imprints in America. One of the Press’s first books, published in 1899, was a landmark, as well as an example of the Press’s close ties to its home city: *The Philadelphia Negro: A Social Study* by renowned reformer, scholar, and social critic W.E.B. DuBois, a book that remains on the Press’s list to this day. Beginning in the mid-1960s, Penn Press began to focus its editorial program on American and European historical and cultural studies and the social sciences, and resources for practitioners in healthcare, human rights, and public policy.
