Established in 1920, the Huntington Library Press [1] is one of Southern California's oldest book publishers. Its current publishing agenda includes a quarterly journal for scholars and a mixture of scholarly books, conference papers, exhibition catalogs, facsimiles from its collections, and visitor publications.

Areas of specialization are British and American literature and history, especially the sixteenth to the eighteenth centuries; nineteenth-century western American history; British art, especially of the eighteenth century; and horticultural topics relating to plants and plant culture in a Mediterranean climate. These are distributed worldwide, mostly to college and research libraries, and provide examples of the scholarly and research activities possible at the Huntington.

The Huntington also issues books in cooperation with other publishers in the United States, England, and Japan.
