The University of Utah Press assists local organizations by distributing their publications to a broader audience. The Press distributes those books and DVDs which complement subject categories in which we publish, especially archaeology, anthropology, western history, Mormon Studies, local geology, and natural history.

The MPC publishes three series of archaeology and anthropology: Popular Series, Occasional Papers, and Technical Papers.
