Funding

The Bentham Project operates as an independent Department in the Faculty of Laws, University College London. The College and the Faculty provide support for a full-time Director and part-time Administrator of the Bentham Project, in addition to a grant towards running costs, accommodation, and other facilities.

The Bentham Project is currently in receipt of funding from the following bodies:

• The Andrew W. Mellon Foundation's Scholarly Communications and Information Technology grant programme, for the Consolidated Bentham Papers Repository, for the continuation and expansion of the work of Transcribe Bentham.
• The European Commission's FP7 scheme (FP7-ICT-2011-9), for participation in the tranScriptorium project, a consortium led by the Universitat Politècnica de València. The project aims to develop innovative, efficient and cost-effective solutions for the indexing, searching and full transcription of historical manuscript images, using Handwritten Text Recognition technology.
• The Leverhulme Trust for Bentham's writings on sex, law and religion.
• The Bentham Project is recognized as a British Academy Research Project.
