W. W. Norton & Company has been independent since its founding in 1923, when William Warder Norton and Mary D. Herter Norton first published lectures delivered at the Peoples Institute, the adult education division of New York Citys Cooper Union. The firm soon expanded its program beyond the Institute, publishing books by celebrated academics from America and abroad. By midcentury, the two major pillars of Nortons publishing programtrade books and college textswere firmly established. In the 1950s, the Norton family transferred control of the company to its employees, and todaywith a staff of five hundred and hundreds of trade, college, and professional titles published each yearW. W. Norton & Company stands as the largest and oldest publishing house owned wholly by its employees.
