Indian College of Harvard Press is established in Cambridge.

Using a press purchased by the New England Company and shipped from England, it subsequently publishes 15 books in the Algonquian language, including a a Bible and reading primer by Rev. John Eliot, and 85 in English. James Printer, a Nipmuc whom Eliot had converted to Christianity, does much of the translating and typesetting. Faced with competition when a press opens in Boston in 1675,* the printing room of the Indian College is abandoned in 1680 and closed in 1692.
