Extremely Large Telescopes (ELTs) and most of their instrumentation will be optimised for operation in the Near-InfraRed (NIR) because of the wavelength dependent performance of adaptive optics. Few established sources for wavelength calibration exist in this wavelength domain. A project is described which aims to provide the basic data to select the best calibration sources for NIR instruments at the European ELT (E-ELT) as a function of wavelength range and spectral resolution. This work directly supports the Phase A studies of E-ELT instruments; in addition its results will be highly valuable for future use in analysis of NIR science observations.
