The University Press Of Kentucky is a nonprofit scholarly publisher focused on Kentucky and its surrounding regions, producing books across disciplines for academic audiences and for readers interested in the state's history and culture. It operates as the Commonwealth's statewide mandated nonprofit scholarly publisher, functioning as an agency of the University of Kentucky and serving all state institutions of higher learning, plus five private colleges and Kentucky's two major historical societies. Based in Lexington, Kentucky, the press is a relatively small organization that concentrates on producing and disseminating scholarly works and regional history and culture titles. A recent development includes a gold award in the Creativepool Annual Awards in 2024. The press has also earned honors for individual titles in the past, such as the Kentucky History Award for James Still: A Life.
