While formally founded in October 2016,[2] Concordia University Press can trace its origin back to the university's 2012-2016 Academic Plan, which called for the creation of "innovative knowledge dissemination platforms, like an electronic press at Concordia".[3] One of Concordia University's librarians had experience in journal publishing and was thus able to help spearhead this initiative and see it through to fruition.[2][3]

Concordia University Press is a member of the Association of Canadian University Presses and the Association of Canadian Publishers,[4][5] and an affiliate of the Association of University Presses.[6]
