In quest for new discoveries, it is crucial to achieve the best precision in understanding the proton structure which would allow for the most unambiguous interpretations of the high energy, luminous data collected within the future physics programme of the LHC. The knowledge of proton's constituents mainly originates from the deep inelastic scattering at HERA and fixed target experiments, complemented by the Tevatron and, more recently, the increasingly precise LHC data. Various methods and statistical tools must be employed in extracting the essence of these data. A guided tour of the road-map that marks the most relevant measurements from the past, present, and possible future experiments to determine the proton content will be presented.
