Rutgers University Press and De Gruyter have announced a commercial partnership for the global distribution of 2,500 Rutgers University Press frontlist and backlist e-book titles on degruyter.com. This partnership allows De Gruyter and Rutgers University Press to scan the Press’s archive of approximately 1,500 undigitised titles from 1936 to 2000. De Gruyter will have exclusive marketing and sales rights for that archive collection for three years once the digitisation is complete.
The Press was founded in 1936, and initially specialised in US Civil War, regional history, and european history. Today, the publisher focuses on sociology, anthropology, health policy, history of medicine, human rights, urban studies, Jewish studies, American studies, film and media studies and the environment.
