Bryn Mawr Classical Review describes itself as having begun in 1990 as a LISTSERV created by John Price-Wilkin of the University of Michigan, who also provided the original gopher site and ongoing technical support for the Review.^{[2][independent source needed]} From 1994 through 1999, BMCR received support from the Andrew W. Mellon Foundation through a project that studied the growth and functionality of e-journals.^[3] As of 2015, the journal was describing its web presentation as being created by members of the University of Pennsylvania Center for the Computer Analysis of Text, Jay Treat, Ken McFarlane, Warren Petrovsky, and Ira Winston, and by Vince Patone and Andrew Lacey of Bryn Mawr College.^{[2][independent source needed]}

In 1993, Bryn Mawr Classical Review founded a sister publication, Bryn Mawr Medieval Review (now The Medieval Review).^[3] As of 1996, both journals were offered for subscription, both print and online, and there was also an option for those who wished to subscribe electronically to both, but without receiving duplicate reviews (as some reviews appeared in both journals).^{[3][needs update]}

As of January 2025, the Journal stated that its senior editors were Clifford Ando of The University of Chicago and Camilla MacKay of Bryn Mawr College.^[4]
