About Us

48 Years of Professional Service

The Philosophy Documentation Center has been serving the scholarly community on a non-profit basis since 1966, earning a reputation for excellence with the publication of essential reference materials, peer-reviewed journals, conference proceedings, and research databases. We provide a full range of publishing services, including digital workflow management and secure online access options for institutions, individuals, and membership organizations. We provide production support and customized electronic conversion services for print collections of any size. Other services include membership management for professional organizations, secure hosting of full-text content in any language, order fulfillment for print or electronic journals, rights and permissions management, typesetting and graphic design work, conference registrations, and online marketing.

PDC has a unique commitment to support teaching and research in philosophy and related fields. We try to expand the reach of philosophical work outside the classroom, and sponsor the annual Prize for Excellence and Innovation in Philosophy Programs with the American Philosophical Association.
