===History of Project Euclid===
In 1999 Cornell University Library received a grant from the [[Andrew W. Mellon Foundation]] for the development of an online publishing service designed to support the transition for small, non-commercial mathematics journals from paper to digital distribution.<ref>{{cite journal|last=Ehling|first=Terry|coauthors=Erich Staib|title=The Coefficient Partnership: Project Euclid, Cornell University Library and Duke University Press|journal=Against the Grain|date=December 2008/January 2009|volume=20|issue=6}}</ref> Duke University Press, which had experience in putting its own math journals online and a similar interest in assisting non-commercial math journals, worked as Cornell's partner in developing the grant application and then in developing Project Euclid's publishing model.
Cornell launched Project Euclid in May 2003 with nineteen journals. In July 2008, Cornell University Library and Duke University Press established a joint venture and began co-managing Project Euclid. Duke assumed responsibility for "marketing, financial, and order fulfillment workflows" while Cornell continued to provide and support Project Euclid's IT infrastructure. <ref name=Crow/>
