The project began in June 1995 with funding from the Higher Education Funding Council for England. The first phase aimed to create a database of accurate bibliographical descriptions for all foreign books in non-Bodleian libraries, printed before 1641.
This funding came to an end in September 1997 and for two years the project was solely reliant on funding from the University and Colleges.
In August 1999 the project was awarded funding for three years from the Research Support Libraries Programme for Charting the European Printed Heritage 1641-1800.
