Initiatives of The Davis Center result in the publication of many books, including:
The Davis Center at Fifty
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 Lawrence Stone Lectures
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. Each year, the Davis Center brings a major historian to campus for a week of informal meetings and three thematically linked lectures.
