It was established by ten <a href="/wiki/Midwestern_United_States" title="Midwestern United States">midwestern</a> universities, and was established to support humanities studies and social science research efforts. CRL was originally built to manage a <a href="/wiki/Collective_collection" title="Collective collection">collective collection</a> that no one university could maintain, and contents included foreign newspapers, government documents, microform archives, historic journals, foreign dissertations, and other material identified as critical to research.<sup id="cite_ref-Reilly_2-2" class="reference"><a href="#cite_note-Reilly-2"><span class="cite-bracket">[</span>2<span class="cite-bracket">]</span></a></sup> </p><p>Since 2013, CRL has hosted NERL, originally known as the NorthEast Research Libraries Consortium, an <a href="/wiki/Academic_library" title="Academic library">academic library</a> <a href="/wiki/Library_consortium" title="Library consortium">consortium</a> that negotiates licenses for online products on behalf of 28 member academic <a href="/wiki/Research_library" title="Research library">research libraries</a> and 80 affiliates.<sup id="cite_ref-3" class="reference"><a href="#cite_note-3"><span class="cite-bracket">[</span>3<span class="cite-bracket">]</span></a></sup> </p> <div class="mw-heading mw-heading2"><h2 id="Digital_era">Digital era</h2><span class="mw-editsection"><span class="mw-editsection-bracket">[</span><a href="/w/index.php?title=Center_for_Research_Libraries&action=edit&section=2" title="Edit section: Digital era"><span>edit</span></a><span class="mw-editsection-bracket">]</span></span></div> <p>The introduction of the internet and current technology meant that the relevancy of a physical repository became less important.

CRL came together to attempt to support continued access to these print journal collections, and one result of this effort was the Print Archives Preservation Registry (PAPR). PAPR is part of a larger program entitled the Global Resources Forum (GRF) that supports library and consortia decision-making on collection management and investment. "One of several components of a larger CRL program of support for consortia decision-making on collection management and investment, the Global Resources Forum. The Global Resources Forum (GRF) evolved from CRL's longstanding cooperative collection-building efforts, and applies the successful template for those area studies programs to the broader sphere of humanities and social science resources. </p><p>Like the Area Microform and Global Resources projects, GRF activities leverage for the common good the formidable pool of expertise and knowledge on traditional and digital collections that exists among CRL's extensive community."<sup id="cite_ref-Reilly_2-5" class="reference"><a href="#cite_note-Reilly-2"><span class="cite-bracket">[</span>2<span class="cite-bracket">]</span></a></sup> Ultimately, the GRF combines open access online resources such as data and analysis with limited-participation in both virtual and in-person roundtable discussions. These discussions include publication of audits of repositories like Portico, and examination of databases of primary source collections in areas of interest, which in turn provide critical information by which CRL libraries can base their acquisition policy and collection decisions. "In some instances the databases evaluated are digital versions of collections that CRL holds in microform or in print, and thus offer the prospect of replacing microfilm or hard copy delivery with electronic access."<sup id="cite_ref-Reilly_2-6" class="reference"><a href="#cite_note-Reilly-2"><span class="cite-bracket">[</span>2<span class="cite-bracket">]</span></a></sup> </p> <div class="mw-heading mw-heading2"><h2 id="Administration_and_membership">Administration and membership</h2><span class="mw-editsection"><span class="mw-editsection-bracket">[</span><a href="/w/index.php?title=Center_for_Research_Libraries&action=edit&section=4" title="Edit section: Administration and membership"><span>edit</span></a><span class="mw-editsection-bracket">]</span></span></div> <p>CRL is governed by a Board of Directors made up of library directors from member institutions.
