In 1989, Silpakorn University established the project of organizing the centre to glorify Princess Maha Chakri Sirindhorn on the occasion of her 36th birthday in 1991, given her interest in anthropology and related subjects, such as history, linguistics, and archaeology.

The project was approved by royal decree to be a state agency under the aegis of Silpakorn University.
