West Virginia University Press was accepted as a member of the Association of American University Presses in 2002.

The AAUP is an organization made up of select non-profit scholarly publishers that is dedicated to the support of creative and effective scholarly communication. Through professional development opportunities, cooperative programs, and information resources the AAUP helps its members fulfill their common commitments to scholarship, the academy, and society. Now, perhaps more than ever before, university presses contribute to the variety and diversity of cultural expression at a time of global mergers and consolidation in the media industry.
