The Latin American database began operation with funding from the NOAA Paleoclimatology Program in August 1994. An organizing workshop was hosted by Vera Markgraf and Eric Grimm in Springfield, Illinois, USA in November 1994. In October 1998 the database coordinator's torch was passed to Rob Marchant at the University of Amsterdam in The Netherlands.
