Hyperspy, formely EELSLab, was created by Francisco de la Peña in 2007 during his PhD supervised by Michael Walls and he continues to lead the project to this day.

Since 2010 Hyperspy is maintened by `an active community of developers <https://github.com/hyperspy/hyperspy/contributors>`_.

The Hyperspy logo was created by Stefano Mazzucco. It is a modified version of `this figure <http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/File:Hypercube.svg>`_ and the same GFDL license applies.
 
The website is a fork of the Ipython website.
