BHL’s transition is being implemented in stages, some of which are now complete and others that are continuing.
Completed stages include:
- Establishing Council on Library and Information Resources (CLIR) as BHL’s fiscal sponsor
- Transferring BHL’s financial administration to CLIR
- Confirming governance, oversight, and operational continuity
Stages currently underway or upcoming include:
- Completing the transition of existing BHL staff to CLIR
- Planning the move of BHL’s technical infrastructure to a new host institution
- Continuing to strengthen long-term funding, partnerships, and infrastructure resilience
With these foundations in place, BHL has entered a new operational phase focussed on sustainability, stability, and growth, while completing the remaining elements of the transition.
