The fund was launched with the assets of Pds. 300 with a remit that fell somewhere between an expeditionary survey and military intelligence gathering. Whose members sent back reports on the need to salvage and modernize the region.The PEF was founded on 22 June 1865 by a group of Biblical archaeologists and clergymen. The most notable of these were the Dean of Westminster Abbey, Arthur P. Stanley, and Sir George Grove (who also founded the Royal College of Music, and was responsible for Grove's Dictionary of Music). It was established "for the purpose of investigating the Archaeology, Geography, manners, customs and culture, Geology and Natural History of the Holy Land." It had a complex relationship with Corps of Royal Engineers.
