History

Fordham University Press was established in 1907. After the close of the university's medical school in 1922, the press operated under the Graduate School of Arts and Sciences and began publishing textbooks in education, English, law, philosophy, and psychology.{{cite web|url=http://fordhampress.com/index.php/about_us?id=1|work=Fordham Press|title=About Us: History|access-date=April 13, 2017}}

The press was headquartered in the Canisius Hall building in the Rose Hill campus for over 100 years. In March 2017, the press relocated from its original headquarters at the university's Rose Hill campus in the Bronx to the Lincoln Center campus in Manhattan.{{cite web|url=http://news.fordham.edu/university-news/fordham-university-press-moves-to-manhattan/|work=Fordham News|title=Fordham University Press Moves to Manhattan|author=Verel, Patrick|date=March 13, 2017|access-date=April 12, 2017}}

Fordham University Press joined The Association of American Publishers trade organization in the Hachette v. Internet Archive lawsuit which resulted in the removal of access to over 500,000 books from global readers.https://help.archive.org/help/why-are-so-many-books-listed-as-borrow-unavailable-at-the-internet-archive/ https://publishers.org/who-we-are/our-members/
