Peking University Press (PUP) was founded in 1902 as the very first university press in China. Reestablished in 1979, it now is the comprehensive press at the national level. Sticking to the principle of“facilitating teaching and scientific research, assisting academic development and cultivating talented intellectuals,” PUP has been laying great emphasis on educational and academic publication. 
Based on the rich resources of the Peking University's talented faculty and with the support from the foreign scholars and experts all over the world, PUP has published and introduced a great amount of university textbooks, reference books and academic works, ranging from humanities, social and natural sciences, to information technologies. It has also compiled and reprinted many important ancient and rare books. Academic journals, audio-visual and electronic products are among the PUP publication, too.
