"Our Back Pages": A Brief History of the APS Press
Abstract: A history of the American Philosophical Society Press, from the first issue of Transactions in 1771 to the Press's 2024 relaunch, describing and analyzing publishing trends over this two-hundred-and-fifty-year history. How have the Press's eclectic publications furthered the Society's mission of "promoting useful knowledge," and how are its current stewards continuing that tradition?
