Commissioned Histories

Commissioned history books for schools, churches and institutions.

A lasting record of your community, researched with care and written to be read for generations.

Your Story, Preserved

A book can carry your institution’s history forward.

KMC Publishing works with the people, photographs, archives and traditions that give an organization its character. The result is a carefully made book that honors the past and gives current students, members, families and supporters a fuller connection to it.

Schools

Mark an anniversary, preserve the story of a high school or academy, and bring together alumni memories, yearbooks, photographs and the people who shaped its culture.

Churches

Church histories

Honor a congregation’s faith, service and community through the people, milestones and images that deserve to be remembered.

Institutions
