In response to a proposal made by SIG/HFIS in 1994, the ASIS SIG Special Projects Fund awarded a small grant to the University of South Carolina College of Library and Information Science for the purposes of:

1. identifying the early pioneering individuals and organizations of information science in North America;
2. determining the location of personal and corporate papers for these people and organizations;
3. preparation of a bibliography on the history of information science in North America.

An advisory group of long-term ASIS members and historians of information science worked with the project. The project was completed in 1996.
