Administrative history
Dolmen Press was a book publisher based in Dublin Ireland. Founded by Liam and Josephine Miller in 1951 with a focus on Irish poetry and art, the press later expanded to include literature and criticism of Irish works. Between the late 1950s and 1979, a printing division took on work for theaters, galleries and businesses, as an additional revenue stream. The press operated until Liam's death in 1987.
