Proudly celebrating 100 years of publishing in Australia 1908 - 2008
Oxford University Press Australia officially turns ‘100’ in April and to celebrate this auspicious occasion we will be launching a special programme of centenary events and publications throughout the course of the year.
Oxford University Press is one of the oldest publishing enterprises in the world, as well as one of the largest. Its imprint carries authority; its standards of book production are high, and its range of interests are wide. It is a department of the University of Oxford, although it is not subsidised by the University. It is not a company: it pays no dividend and it has no shareholders. It is committed to the dissemination of knowledge: all its surplus is devoted to publishing works that further scholarship and education, and to sustaining the research on which some of these books are based.
Since 1908 OUP in Australia has operated as a microcosm of the Press's worldwide organisation. Like OUP internationally, it propagates the liberal objectives of the University: to further education and learning. Like every other branch, it does so in a fashion that reflects the specific needs of the country it serves. Today Oxford University Press Australia & New Zealand has an unrivalled reputation for publishing dictionaries and reference works of excellence and authority, as well as being one of the foremost publishers of textbooks for primary, secondary and higher education students.
We’re proud of this long-standing commitment to the furtherance of education and knowledge and we will look forward to celebrating our one hundred years in Australia with you over the course of the year ahead.
