The CHASE project was an AHRC-funded research project at the University of Leeds (in partnership with the University of Cardiff) funded between 2008, and 2012. It has continued to be an active resource since then. In 2018, after the retirement of its director, Professor Clive Brown, the site moved to the University of Huddersfield and is now under the directorship of Dr David Milsom. The site sits within the activities and infrastructure of the Nineteenth-century performance research group within the newly formulated Research Centre for Performance Practices (ReCePP)
