The '''RAND Terrorism Chronology Database''' is a database of international terrorist incidents that occurred between 1968 and 1997. The database was first developed by [[Brian Jenkins]] in 1970 and first started on 3” x 5” cards.<ref>Brian K.

Hoffman took over the database, assumed directorship of the program, and expanded it to include domestic as well as international terrorism.<ref>RAND Corporation News Release, [http://rand.org/news/Press.97.98/hoffman.8.31.html 'BRUCE HOFFMAN TO HEAD RAND’S WASHINGTON OFFICE.

That year RAND recieved funding from the [[Memorial Institute for the Prevention of Terrorism]] and developed the [[Terrorism Incident Database]], which documented terrorism incidents from 1998 onwards. That new database in turn formed part of the now discontinued [[Terrorism Knowledge Base]].<ref>RAND Website, [http://rand.org/ise/projects/terrorismdatabase/ The RAND Worldwide Terrorism Incident Knowledge Database Project], (accessed 22 March 2008)</ref>
