The Associated Publishers was a producer of printed materials, founded by historian Carter G Woodson in June 1921.[1][2][3] The publishing company was founded to initially help Woodson produce his own works and helped many other scholars of black history deliver their works to the public.[4]

After World War I, Woodson sensed a desire in the African-American community to know more about their past. Because the major publishing companies at the time showed no interest for producing serious works on this topic, Woodson organized The Associated Publishers in November 1920. It was conceived as a funding resource for the Association for the Study of African American Life and History.[5]
The company produced more than 200 books, covering wide swaths of African American life and history. Many were of a formal, footnoted nature, written by recognized authorities in historical scholarship. The company published several collections of short stories, primarily for young readers, with an emphasis on important people and events. Other titles included poetry, drama, and athletic sports.
The company published a variety of materials, including monographs, translations of the works of reputable foreign scholars, pictures, and even calendars.[6]
The Associated Publishers closed its doors in 2005.[7]
