William Collins, Sons often abbreviated to Collins was a Scottish printing and publishing house founded in 1819 in Glasgow. Acquired by NewsCorp in the 1980s and merged with Harper & Row in 1990 to form HarperCollins  More

Collins

Founded in 1819, and after some start-up problems and after one of the founders left the company, initial success came as a printer of bibles. The founder's son developed the company into a publisher of, among other things, school and religious books. The name also changed: The Library of Congress lists W. Collins & Co., and William Collins & Company, Collins & Co., etc., until "sometime in the 1860s," then "William Collins Sons and Co."
In 1917, a new Collins, Godfrey, took the helm and began to expand the portfolio into crime novels: 'Collins Crime Club' issued all but the 1st 6 Agatha Christies , the English editions of Nero Wolfe and many other writers from the English "Golden Age of Detective Fiction".
Collins acquired Armada Books in 1966 and used that imprint to publish well-known youth writers such as Enid Blyton and series such as Biggles as part of the Fontana branch. This Fontana Books arm had started in 1953 as a series but later became its own imprint with its own series as
Fontana Lions
Fontana Monarch
Fontana Modern Masters

In 2013, it was announced that HarperCollins' non-fiction editions would be released under the new old imprint "William Collins". In addition, Collins Education is an English educational publisher (also a branch of HarperCollins).

In 1819 opgericht, en na wat opstartproblemen en nadat 1 van deoprichters het bedijf verliet, kwam aanvankelijk succes als drukker van bijbels. De zoon van de oprichter bouwde het bedrijf uit tot een uitgeverij van onder meer school- en religieuze boeken. De naam veranderde ook: De Library of Congress vermeldt W. Collins & Co., en William Collins & Company, Collins & Co., etc., tot "ergens in de 1860s", daarna "William Collins Sons and Co."

In 1917 kwam een nieuwe Collins, Godfrey aan het roer en begon met het portfolio uit te breiden naar misdaad romans: 'Collins Crime Club' gaf alle behalve de 1e 6 Agatha Christies uit, de engelse uitgaven van Nero Wolfe en vele andere schrijvers uit de Engelse "Golden Age of Detective Fiction".

Collins nam in de 1966 Armada Books over en gebruikte die imprint om bekende jeugdschrijvers als Enid Blyton en series als Biggles uit te geven als onderdeel van de Fontana tak. Deze Fontana Books arm was in 1953 begonnen als een reeks maar werd laten een eigen imprint met eigen reeksen als

Fontana Lions

Fontana Monarch

Fontana Modern Masters

In 2013 kondigde men aan dat de non-fictie uitgaven van HarperCollins onder de nieuwe oude imprint "William Collins" Zullen gaan verschijnen. Daarnaast bestaat nog Collins Education een Engelse educatieve uitgever (ook een tak van HarperCollins).
