The theme of this undergraduate thesis is the university press at Universidade Federal de Uberlândia (UFU), and this thesis main goal is to portray, from its creation, the history behind Edufu, describing its trajectory to later on demonstrate how the press works when it comes to personnel, products, installations, regulations and others. Among the specific goals are the following: to demonstrate how the publishing of academic books works at UFU; to present documents that regulate its inner operations and the changes that they went through; and also to describe quantitatively the improvement of the published works throughout the years. To achieve that, a documentary research was conducted with records from the Editorial Board, resolutions from the upper boards, ordinances, internal documents from the press, among others. By doing so, the history behind a fundamental sector at UFU for recording and publishing the knowledge produced, mainly in its postgraduate programs, was reconstructed, which led to the conclusion that many of the problems that were existent at first remain unsolved, such as physical space, adequate labor, issuance of invoice etc. However, there was also improvement, and even with difficulties, the press continues to issue books. At the end, there are suggestions for further research on UFU Press, but with different approaches.
