History of the Press

Launched in 2009 by author and Nobel Prize winner J M Coetzee, the final work published by the press was launched in February 2019. Over its 10-year history the University of Adelaide Press published a substantial range of high-quality works, authored and edited by notable Australian and international academics. The press published works under two separate imprints: The University of Adelaide Press, which published intellectual and scholarly works that were subject to a selection process and external refereeing, and The Barr Smith Press, which published works of interest about the University.

The Press celebrated open access principles, with most works offering a free online edition. 

The Press officially closed in December 2018, with the final work published in February 2019. More information about the Press is held within University Archives.
