His mother, Jane Gibb established the Trust and she was one of the original trustees alongside Edward G. Browne, Guy Le Strange, Henry F. Amedroz, Alexander G. Ellis, Reynold A. Nicholson, and E. Denison Ross. Subsequent trustees included Mrs. Ida W. E. Ogilvy Gregory, E. J. W. Gibb's widow, and scholars such as Charles A. Storey, Hamilton A. R. Gibb, Reuben Levy, Arthur J. Arberry, Alfred F. L. Beeston and Harold W. Bailey. The current trustees can be found on the Trust's website . During the time of these papers the administration was undertaken by the Cambridge solicitor W.L. Raynes, and his son, E.G. Raynes.
The Trust's purpose was the publication of editions and translations of Arabic, Persian and Turkish texts. They comprised of a First Series published 1905-16, with a delayed volume of the Series not appearing until 1928, forming nos. 1-25 (in fact, several of these were multi-volume works); and a New Series, beginning in 1921, nos. 1 to 29 (again, some of these were multi-volume works). The Trust still continues to publish some volumes and reprint some of the original publications.
