By: Rick Roberts, Biography & Archived Articles
Ancestry.com (The Generations Network) and Turner Publishing issued a joint press release on Tuesday outlining the sale of their book publishing business to Turner Publishing of Nashville, Tennessee. The following is an excerpt from that press release:
PROVO, Utah and NASHVILLE, Tenn., March 23 -- Ancestry.com, the world's largest online family history resource, announced a new publishing agreement today with Turner Publishing. In the agreement, Turner will take over most existing inventory and related publishing contracts for Ancestry Publishing, a division of Ancestry.com.
"The roots of Ancestry.com go back to a small genealogy company started in 1983 under the name of Ancestry Publishing," said Jennifer Utley, Editorial Director, Ancestry.com. "As we looked to finding a vendor to take over the publishing business, we wanted to find a partner who could continue the legacy of Ancestry Publishing. As a leader in the genealogy publishing space with broad distribution channels, Turner will do just that."
Beginning this month, Turner will be the vendor of record for more than 100 titles, including bestsellers The Source: A Guidebook of American Genealogy, Ancestry's Red Book, and 1-2-3 Family Tree as well as numerous other titles.
"This was a classic win-win," commented Todd Bottorff, President and Publisher of Turner. "We are genuinely thrilled to be working with Ancestry.com and excited for the opportunity to market some of the most iconic titles printed for the genealogy category in the past 25 years."
Producing more than 800 genealogy titles since 1984, Turner will support the newly acquired titles with additional marketing and distribution efforts nationwide. The transaction also grants Turner limited use of the Ancestry.com name for publishing purposes.
