Welcome to the LOA Press
A collection for the ages.
If you only read the books that everyone else is reading, you can only think what everyone else is thinking.

Why Submit Your Title to the LOA Press?
Preservation
Each accepted submission to the library receives lifetime preservation at no cost. You become a piece of our library with your submissions and help share knowledge with everyone who comes across your title. Submitting a title helps keep these precious pieces of history out of landfills and being lost to time. Submitted titles are never posted for sale and will be a part of the library for the lifetime of the institution.
Generosity
Knowledge is power, and sharing the knowledge you may have with the world is the most powerful thing you can do. From viewing online through our upcoming Library Portal to museum tours for select titles, your gift will touch hundreds of thousands of lives over time.
Pride
Your name will never be forgotten with an optional dedication for all accepted submissions. You may change your dedication at any time, and wherever your title goes in the library or the world, your dedication will follow.

Depending on the type of title submission, you will have a few options for getting your title to us. The most common is by secure mail shipment, which we cover all of the costs. If your submission is heavier than 70 lbs or extremely valuable and requires in-person pickup, we will work together to coordinate logistics and plan a pickup at no charge.
