In honor of the fiftieth anniversary of The Davis Center, Sean H. Vanatta and Randall Todd Pippenger wrote "Let's Have At It": The Shelby Collum Davis Center at Fifty, which chronicles the founding of the Center up to the present. Angela N. H. Creager edited a second volume, "Building on Stone: Perspectives on the Shelby Cullom Davis Center for Historical Studies at Fifty."

The Davis Center and Princeton University Press have also partnered to bring important and innovative historical scholarship to a broad audience through the Lawrence Stone Lectures.

These lectures serve as the foundation for the Lawrence Stone Lectures volumes. Titles include:

The Center's theme has formed the basis for many multi-author volumes. Most recently, these collections of essays have been published in partnership with Princeton University Press.
