Stanford University Libraries are pleased to announce the launch of a web store for Libraries publications. Please visit our website to browse all available titles and stay tuned for upcoming releases later this fall.

Stanford University Libraries publish exhibit catalogs, bibliographies, scholarly books, essays and poetry, keepsakes, and miscellanea that explore and celebrate the Libraries’ extensive holdings. With over twelve million physical items and many more in digital form, the Libraries’ collections span from cuneiform tablets to photographic collections documenting the Civil Rights Movement to contemporary artist books. Drawing on these collections, we work with donors, staff, and faculty to publish works for the Stanford community, fellow libraries, and researchers and the public around the globe.

Our latest publications include Embodied Knowledge: Women and Science before Silicon Valley, edited by Paula Findlen, and Focus on Community: The Ricardo Alvarado Photography Archive at Stanford. These books highlight the breadth and depth of the Libraries’ collections and offer meaningful avenues for engaging with our holdings under the guidance of expert curators and scholars.

This fall, we will publish Yitzhak Rabin: Chronicle of an Assassination by Amos Gitai and Amos Gitai and the Challenge of Archives, edited by Amos Gitai and Jean-Michel Frodon. Together, these books introduce American audiences to Amos Gitai’s decades-spanning oeuvre grappling with the Israeli-Palestinian conflict and the place of the arts in engaging with that conflict.
