The CHBD was initially constructed with records from the [[Organization:Arctic Institute of North America|Arctic Institute of North America]]'s database.  These were mainly [[Place:Northern Canada|northern Canadian]] records. It is expected to take several years to add non-Canadian records to the CHBD.<ref name="ijch" /> The Circumpolar Health Observatory, proposed in May 2008 in Norway, would disseminate its data through the CHBD.<ref>{{cite web|url=http://uit.no/getfile.php?PageId=2112&FileId=425|archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20110927024336/http://uit.no/getfile.php?PageId=2112&FileId=425|url-status=dead|archive-date=2011-09-27|title=Establishing a Circumpolar Health Observatory|last=Young|first=Kue|date=May 2008|work=Annual Scientific Conference|publisher=University of Tromso, Norway|pages=24|access-date=2008-10-28}}</ref>
