Muir's intention was to publish small, historical monographs which he believed would otherwise go unread. The company's first publication was "A Checklist of Ex-Libris Literature Published in Australia", owing to Muir's interest in bookplates. The press operated out of the bookshop from the 1940s to 1960s. In the 1980s, the state government re-established the name as Wakefield Press, as part of the state's sesquicentenary (150 -year anniversary) celebrations, and a series of histories was published. As proprietor of the monthly cultural magazine the "Adelaide Review", Christopher Pearson bought the name of the Wakefield Press from the South Australian government and operated the company from 1986 to 1988. Michael Bollen, who had worked with Pearson, took over the company in 1989, with Stephanie Johnston buying in a year or so later.
