New endowment for publications in history, literature, and film studies, and augmented endowment for publications in music history and general humanities.

University presses play a critical role in nurturing and perpetuating the humanities. They make available to students, scholars, and the broader public the full range of research, intellectual endeavor, and artistic creativity undertaken in universities and cultural organizations around the world. Driven by the mission of promoting and preserving scholarship, university presses occupy a critical position in disseminating great ideas. University of California Press seeks to establish endowment funds in history, literature, and film studies, and augment existing endowment funds in music history and the general humanities. A campaign of $2 million will help safeguard the development of humanities publications in perpetuity.
