Blackwell Publishers, founded in 1926, had its origins in the 19th century [[Blackwell's]] family bookshop and publishing business.<ref>{{Cite web |last=Group |first=PMB |title=Online catalogue IDC OCG |url=https://doc-center.ocg.msf.org/index.php?lvl=publisher_see&id=95 |access-date=2023-04-26 |website=doc-center.ocg.msf.org |language=en}}</ref>
