History

Founded in 1985, Lehigh's university press was a member of the Associated University Presses consortium; other members included Bucknell University Press, University of Delaware Press, Susquehanna University Press and Fairleigh Dickinson University Press. When Associated University Presses ceased most new publishing in 2010, a new distribution agreement between Lehigh University Press, Bucknell University Press, University of Delaware Press, and Fairleigh Dickinson University Press was struck with Rowman & Littlefield.

The current director of the press is Lehigh English professor Kate Crassons.{{Cite web|title = About {{!}} Lehigh University Press|url = https://lupress.cas2.lehigh.edu/node/96|website = lupress.cas2.lehigh.edu|access-date = 2016-01-15}} The press's three main areas of focus are eighteenth-century studies, local history, and science and technology in society.{{Citation |last=Shimer |first=Liz |title=Gordon chosen to revitalize the Lehigh University Press |url=http://www1.lehigh.edu/news/gordon-chosen-revitalize-lehigh-university-press |publisher=Lehigh University |date=2007-04-17 |accessdate=2008-12-27}}
