Allied to this capital investment was funding through the New Opportunities Fund of £200m for the Community Access to Lifelong Learning (CALL) programme to cover development and running costs. These centers were aimed at providing access to technology and skills development for businesses and the general public. The voluntary sector was heavily involved in establishing and running these centers. Evaluation of the CALL programme (May 2006) online.

The archive is directed and maintained by Richard Millwood of Core Education UK supported by Sandra Crapper, Maureen Gurr, Margaret Cox, Nick Rushby and Joy Hooper. The British Educational Suppliers Association (BESA) were archive sponsors in 2008 and Becta were sponsors in 2009. Much of the archive was gathered in the years 1990 - 2006 by Prof Stephen Heppell with Richard Millwood and stored at Ultralab at Anglia Ruskin University in Chelmsford. In its early days it was catalogued by Greta Mladenova and in 2006 Rex Wingate helped to organise the items in store. More recently, since 2011, Doreen Wright, Nick Rushby, Chris Monk and Joy Hooper have been helping catalogue the materials and develop policies.
