The Series monographs are the oldest publishing programs at the University of California Press, dating back to the Press's founding in 1893. The monographs are highly specialized book-length works different from the other books published by the Press.

Publishing in the series is open to all qualified scholars, with or without UC affiliation. Page charges are generally required from non-UC authors.
