In the early 1970s, Harry Oppenheimer founded The Brenthurst Press to publish works based on the holdings of the library, so that the resources of the library would be available to a wider audience. He wished the books to be both scholarly and attractive, so authors with expert subject knowledge were commissioned and the books produced to archival standards.
