The press has always had close ties with University of Toronto Libraries. The press was partially located in the library from 1910-1920. The University Librarian Hugh Hornby Langton, the lead librarian of the University of Toronto Libraries, served as the first general editor of the University of Toronto Press. [2]
Sidney Earle Smith, president of the University of Toronto in the late 1940s and 1950s, instituted a new governance arrangement for the press modelled on the governing structure of the university as a whole (on the standard Canadian university governance model defined by the Flavelle commission). Henceforth, the press's business affairs and editorial decision-making would be governed by separate committees, the latter by academic faculty.Script error: No such module "Footnotes".Script error: No such module "Check for unknown parameters".

Woodhouse studied the publishing policies of American university presses to inform the structure of the press's publishing division.Script error: No such module "Footnotes".Script error: No such module "Check for unknown parameters".
