The American Philosophical Society Press

The American Philosophical Society (APS) is the oldest learned society in the United States, founded in 1743 by Benjamin Franklin for the purpose of “promoting useful knowledge.” In keeping with Franklin’s vision, the APS is currently relaunching its press, producing a new portfolio of publications that will promote and explore the dynamics of “useful knowledge” in today’s multidisciplinary context. The APS Press publishes scholarly books across the disciplines and has a rich backlist of more than 1,000 books, including many landmark works. They are an independent press with books produced and distributed by Penn Press.
