St. Martin's Press archive, 1952-2019
In 1997, St. Martin's Press agreed to transfer their archives - thousands of publications as well as their business files - to the Library. In addition to receiving the complete inventory of St. Martin's Press publications dating back to the founding of the press in 1952, the Library continued to receive a copy of every new St. Martin's Press title as it was published until 2019. This gift brings to the Library the historical archive of one of the nation's most important trade publishing houses; additions to the archive take place regularly.The collection includes archival copies of books produced by St. Martin's Press, which are retained by the Press for purposes of producing reprints in the future. These books are individual catalogued in BruKnow and stored at the Annex as part of the John Hay Library collections. Because they have been kept primarily for archival purposes, they will be retrieved for research use at the John Hay Library.
