The foundation for provenance research in public institutions, especially concerning art and cultural assets confiscated due to Nazi persecution, is based on the Washington Principles of 1998. These call for the identification of Nazi-looted art and for tracing previous owners or their heirs in order to reach a \u201cjust and fair solution.\u201d <\/p>\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t

The basis for provenance research includes acquisition documents or auction catalogs. In addition, so-called provenance features such as stickers, inscriptions, or bookplates on the objects can provide information about previous ownership. Furthermore, special databases and scientific exchange among provenance researchers are important.

Key sources for provenance research include acquisition records and auction catalogues, as well as so-called provenance marks – such as stickers, inscriptions, or ex libris, that may reveal information about previous ownership. Specialized databases and the scholarly exchange among provenance researchers are also vital to this work. <\/p>\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t

For the Braunschweig museums, provenance research is an ongoing task. The Herzog Anton Ulrich Museum<\/a>, for example, examines its collections for “Nazi-looted art” as well as for “cultural and collection assets from colonial contexts” and “cultural property confiscations in the Soviet Occupation Zone and the GDR”. <\/p>
