The 80th birthday of the University of Wisconsin Press was April 13, 2016.
We're blogging once a month from April 2016 to April 2017 about UW Press history. So far, we've written about highlights of eight decades, UWP's connection to the Wisconsin Idea, publishing politics, UWP and John Muir, Margaret H’Doubler and UWP dance publishing, and editor Livia Appel, the first hire when the Press was founded in the 1930s.
Coming on Nov 16: a blog post about our connections to the vibrant tradition of fine art printmaking at the University of Wisconsin and the Madison region.
