Florida State University Press continues the program of scholarly publications begun by the FSU Studies in 1949. In 1973, the Press became a member of the State University System publishing consortium, University Presses of Florida, established by the Board of Regents as a Type I Institute. Under this arrangement, the University continues to select manuscripts for its own imprint and maintains its own publishing budget.
