Your gift to the University of New Mexico Press makes these objectives a reality.

  • Preserve the cultures, languages, and histories of New Mexico and the Southwest.
  • Provide educational tools for children and for future generations.
  • Disseminate important works of scholarship.

The University of New Mexico Press is an internationally known and respected publisher. To build on that reputation, the Press has launched its first endowment campaign to raise more than $5,000,000. These funds will allow the Press to produce and promote many more works of superior quality and of paramount importance.

The Press has reached a high plateau. We are recognized as an excellent regional press and as a leading academic press, but if we want to become one of the nation's leading publishers, we need additional funds to take the Press to the next level…UNM Press provides value to society, scholarship, and the university community…With a significant influx in funds, we can realistically strive to make every UNM Press book a cultural contribution.
—Luther Wilson, Director of UNMP
