This project builds upon a two-year pilot project funded by the Association of Research Libraries' Global Resources Program with support from The Andrew W. Mellon Foundation.[4] The United States Department of Education has provided support through four grants under the Technological Innovation and Cooperation for Foreign Information Access (TICFIA) program and two grants under the International Research and Studies (IRS) program. A grant from the Ford Foundation made possible the formation of the South Asia Union Catalogue, a subordinate program under the Digital South Asia Library.
