[2] Supported by a scientific advisory board that meets twice a year, Brunhart was the sole editor responsible for implementing the project from 1990 onwards.

[3][4] He initiated four Liechtenstein seminars ranging from 1994 to 1996 held at the universities of Zurich, Freiburg, Innsbruck and Salzburg respectively dedicated to the development of the historical lexicon.

[2][6] The completion deadline was set to December 2011, with the historical lexicon first being released in two volumes in January 2013 by Swiss publisher Chronos Verlag.

The technical concept for implementing this project was based on a MediaWiki solution.

The institute is now the sole owner of the historical lexicon and updates it accordingly.
