Funders

Under the leadership of Dr Leonard Polonsky and as part of its International Digitisation Project, The Polonsky Foundation has provided major funding towards the development of the digital library's infrastructure and the digitisation of content for its Foundations of Faith and Foundations of Science collections.

JISC (Joint Information Systems Committee) awarded a grant to Cambridge University Library and the Newton Project at the University of Sussex for the Windows on Genius project (JISC e-Content Programme 2011). This project has enabled the linking of Newton's facsimiles and transcriptions. JISC is also funding the Board of Longitude Collection (JISC Content Programme 2011-2013) which is creating a substantial collection related to 18th century science an technology.

The cataloguing and digitisation of the Sanskrit Collection and Spanish Chapbooks have been funded by the Arts and Humanities Research Council, UK.

The digitisation of the Darwin-Hooker letters has been funded through a grant to the Darwin Correspondence Project from the National Science Foundation.
