MorphAdorner was designed, implemented, and documented by Philip R. "Pib" Burns of Academic and Research Technologies, Northwestern University. MorphAdorner was partially funded by grants from The Andrew W. Mellon Foundation for WordHoard and Monk, and by ProQuest and the CIC Universities for the Virtual Orthographic Standardization project. Martin Mueller, Professor of English and Classics, was the faculty sponsor for these projects.

John L. Norstad contributed most of the section entitled NUPos and Morphology.
