TheUniversity of Toronto Press is a Canadianuniversity press.^[1] Although it was founded in 1901, the press did not actually publish any books until 1911.^[2]

The press originally printed only examination books and the university calendar.^[3] Its first scholarly book was a work by a classics professor atUniversity College, Toronto.^[3] The press took control of the university bookstore in 1933.^[3] It employed a noveltypesetting method to print issues of theCanadian Journal of Mathematics, founded in 1949.^[4]

The press has always had close ties withUniversity of Toronto Libraries. The press was partially located in the library from 1910-1920. The University Librarian Hugh Hornby Langton, the lead librarian of the University of Toronto Libraries, served as the first general editor of the University of Toronto Press.^[5]

Sidney Earle Smith, president of theUniversity of Toronto in the late 1940s and 1950s, instituted a new governance arrangement for the press modelled on the governing structure of the university as a whole (on the standard Canadian university governance model defined by theFlavelle commission). Henceforth, the press's business affairs and editorial decision-making would be governed by separate committees, the latter by academic faculty.^[6] A committee composed ofVincent Bladen,George Williams Brown (general editor of the press from 1951^[7]), andA. S. P. Woodhouse studied the publishing policies of American university presses to inform the structure of the press's publishing division.^[6]

Beginning in 1971, the press printed its books simultaneously on paper andmicrofiche.^[8]

The press is currently a member of theAssociation of University Presses.^[9]
