Lost Art Internet Database

Launched on April 10, the Lost Art Internet Database is a collaborative project of the Federal Government of Germany and its Federal States ("Lander"). The site "registers cultural goods which were transported or stolen because of persecution, especially of Jewish citizens, as a result of World War II or as a result of National Socialism." At the site users can currently conduct simple or advanced searches of two areas of the database: Public Losses and Remaining Stock CCP. Alternatively, users can search both simultaneously via the Global Search function. Search returns for the former include title, type of object, whether or not it was a war loss, destroyed, or restituted, and a contact for further information. Those for the latter include title, artist, material, measures, purchase, borrower, and inventory number. Background and additional information on the project as a whole and the currently available content are provided. Please note that the site is still under extensive construction and more content is forthcoming. Additions planned for the near future include a "Fremdbesitz" area of the database that will list objects, regardless of their location, that are not in the owner's hands or are without provenance, and an expanded Other Countries section that may include data from other countries.
