The West Virginia University Press is the primary publishing and distribution agency of scholarly works for and about West Virginia. The Press also publishes scholarly and creative works treating the Appalachian region, as well as scholarly monographs in all areas of research represented at the West Virginia University.
The WVU press was founded in the mid sixties by Robert Munn, Dean of Libraries. It was quite successful in its early days, publishing a number of important bibliographies and histories of the coal industry, and a variety of other significant scholarly works, including the justly famous Flora of West Virginia by Earl Core. In 1999, the University decided to reestablish the WVU Press whose activities had waned over the intervening years, and located it within the Eberly College of Arts and Sciences. Patrick W. Conner, formerly the Chair of the Department of English, accepted appointment as the Director of the Press, which is now engaged again in a rapidly expanding program of publications for the state and the university.
The following West Virginia University Press journals are included in Project MUSE:
