FDU Press was established in 1967 by the university's founder,Peter Sammartino, in collaboration with the publisherThomas Yoseloff, formerly the director ofUniversity of Pennsylvania Press. Yoseloff had left this position in the previous year to foundAssociated University Presses (AUP), intended to operate as a consortium of small-to-medium-sizeduniversity presses and publisher/distributor ofhumanities scholarship. FDU Press became the first participating member of AUP in 1968.
