Imprimis was founded in 1972 by Clark Durant and George Roche III as a free alumni service.Lew Rockwell was an early editor. Hillsdale's then-President George Roche III initially sent 1,000 issues to "friends of the College." The publication improved Hillsdale's name recognition and did "wonders for out-of-state enrollment" as its circulation "ballooned." And Imprimis was one of the more visible elements of "intellectual ferment on the right" found at college campuses in the 1980s.

Imprimis's circulation has grown to 3.4 million as of 2016^[update] and remains a free publication. Distribution is no longer limited to alumni; anyone can request to receive it (though donations for its publication are accepted and encouraged).

Imprimis's content consists almost entirely of edited transcripts of speeches delivered by conservative movement leaders at Hillsdale-sponsored events.

In 1991, the dean at Boston University, H. Joachim Maitre, was accused of plagiarizing an Imprimis article by Michael Medved in a commencement address, which led to Maitre's resignation.
