Les Éditions de l'Université de Montréal is a Canadian academic press affiliated with a major francophone university in Montréal, Québec, specializing in scholarly monographs, critical editions, and interdisciplinary collections. The press has published works spanning Québec, Canada, France, Belgium, and Switzerland francophone scholarship, and collaborates with institutions such as Bibliothèque et Archives nationales du Québec, Université Laval, McGill University, and Université de Sherbrooke.
Founded in the early 1960s, the press developed alongside the Quiet Revolution and the expansion of higher education in Québec and Canada. Early publications engaged with figures and movements including Maurice Duplessis, Jean Lesage, René Lévesque, Paul-Émile Borduas, and debates around the Quiet Revolution. Throughout the 1970s and 1980s the imprint issued works by scholars connected to Université de Montréal, responding to intellectual currents represented by names like Fernand Dumont, Charles Taylor, Pierre Trudeau, and Jean-Paul Sartre translations and commentaries. In the 1990s and 2000s the press broadened collaborations to include projects with the Canadian Federation for the Humanities and Social Sciences, the Social Sciences and Humanities Research Council, and internationally with Presses universitaires de France, Oxford University Press, and Cambridge University Press on co-editions and translations. Recent decades saw digitization initiatives echoing practices at the Bibliothèque nationale de France and partnerships modeled after MIT Press and University of California Press.
Governance is framed by the university's academic structures, involving faculties such as Faculté des arts et des sciences, Faculté de droit, Faculté de médecine, and administrative units like Vice-rectorat à la recherche and the Rectorat. Editorial direction engages peer review panels drawing on experts from Université de Montréal, Université de Montréal Faculty of Law, Université de Montréal Faculty of Medicine, Université du Québec à Montréal, Université Laval, and international scholars affiliated with Sorbonne University, Université de Genève, Université de Liège, and Université catholique de Louvain. The board liaises with funding agencies such as the Canadian Institutes of Health Research, Natural Sciences and Engineering Research Council of Canada, and the Social Sciences and Humanities Research Council. Operational management coordinates with trade organizations like the Association of Canadian Publishers and industry events such as the Frankfurt Book Fair and the Salon du livre de Montréal.
The catalogue includes scholarly monographs in fields represented by departments such as Département d'histoire, Département de philosophie, Département de sociologie, Département de psychologie, Département d'anthropologie, and applied areas tied to École de technologie supérieure. Series cover legal studies linked to Code civil du Québec commentary, medical texts associated with Centre hospitalier de l'Université de Montréal, and arts scholarship related to Musée des beaux-arts de Montréal. Notable series formats mirror editorial models from Routledge, Palgrave Macmillan, Brill Publishers, and Johns Hopkins University Press, including critical editions, annotated translations of works by Voltaire, Molière, Louis-Philippe Hébert, and thematic collections referencing scholars like Michel Foucault, Jacques Derrida, Henri Bergson, Simone de Beauvoir, and Émile Durkheim.
The press advances francophone scholarship by publishing monographs by scholars such as those associated with projects on Jacques Cartier, Samuel de Champlain, Louis-Joseph Papineau, and analyses engaging with Canadian Charter of Rights and Freedoms jurisprudence. Cultural contributions include critical editions and exhibition catalogues with institutions like the Musée d'art contemporain de Montréal and collaborations producing works on Nelligan, Marie Uguay, Leonard Cohen, and studies linking Indigenous peoples in Canada histories involving Huron-Wendat, Inuit, Mi'kmaq, and Mohawk communities. The press supports graduate publishing, doctoral series, and conference proceedings tied to events such as the Congrès de l'ACFAS and symposia with international partners like International Council on Archives.
