Our Story
NA Publishing | Alternatives for Libraries
NA Publishing, Inc. was formed in 2005 and specializes in:
- creating digital collections for humanities and social science research
- providing comprehensive serials archive solutions
- conversion and digitization services
- offering services to replicate compromised microform collections
- supporting open access special collections through sister company Reveal Digital
Collectively, our management team has spent more than 100 years in traditional library publishing organizations. What unites us and draws us to NA Publishing is a passion for embracing the alternative—not just because we can, but because we believe the information industry is ripe for revolution. We talk with innovative librarians every day who are breaking old models: becoming library publishers, converting spaces in their libraries to collaborative environments, digitizing collections and making them openly accessible, and we want to be partners on projects like those.
We are committed to serving the library community with alternatives: new models revolving around collaboration, creative partnerships, and stewardship of our intellectual heritage. Instead of creating pay walls, we partner with libraries to ensure preservation of, and access to, our collective resources. NA Publishing, Inc. is headquartered in Saline, Michigan, and was a 2016 awardee of the Michigan 50 Companies to Watch.
Like you, at NA we are here to serve researchers, and help them create new knowledge.

Future digital collections are planned around the theme of Race, Gender and Class in the 20th Century.
