It deals with the contexts behind changes in possession and <a href="https://www.preussischer-kulturbesitz.de/en/priorities/provenance-research-and-issues-of-ownership/issues-of-ownership.html" target="_blank" title="Issues of Ownership" rel="noreferrer">ownership</a>, from the creation of an object to its inclusion in the collections. The work of provenance researchers highlights the forgotten stories behind the objects. These stories are almost always fascinating, but are sometimes also bizarre or shaped by violence.</strong></p> <p>Provenance research fulfills an important social task. With the 1998 Washington Principles, the Federal Republic of Germany pledged to search for cultural artefacts in museums that had been seized as a result of Nazi persecution, and to find fair and just solutions in dialogue with the rightful owners. The Principles constituted an effort to take responsibility for the grave injustices that had occurred. In recent years, awareness of the effects of German colonial rule has also become more widespread. In light of this, it has become particularly important to reappraise collections that originated in colonial contexts.</p> <p>However, provenance researchers do not focus solely on problematic holdings, illegality and restitution; they also make an important contribution to the history of their own collections, to the history of the art and antiquities trade and of the interactions between cultures and particular protagonists and industry professionals, stories that are rooted in the past but whose effects often extend into the present. Provenance research also tackles the question of how we should interact with historical collections in the present day. This work forms an important foundation when working with collaboration partners around the world and formulating potential future scenarios for the objects.</p> <h3>Provenance Research at the Staatliche Museen zu Berlin</h3> <p>Systematic provenance research is a core undertaking for the <a href="/en/museums-institutions/collections/" title="to the Staatliche Museen zu Berlin collections">Staatliche Museen zu Berlin’s collections</a>, and the <a href="/en/museums-institutions/zentralarchiv/home/" title="to the Zentralarchiv">Zentralarchiv</a> coordinates these efforts. The Zentralarchiv functions as the “memory” of the Staatliche Museen zu Berlin and as the site of its historical record-keeping. This is where the extensive archival records are located, which are the starting point for all types of provenance research on our own holdings.</p> <p>An interdisciplinary team of researchers at the Zentralarchiv is dedicated to the complex and multi-layered tasks and questions that arise in the diverse and very different collections that make up the Staatliche Museen zu Berlin. These provenance researchers investigate whether the collections contain cultural property that was acquired as a result of Nazi persecution, or within the context of European colonial rule. In addition, researchers examine acquisitions after 1970 for violations of the UNESCO Convention on the Means of Prohibiting and Preventing the Illicit Import, Export and Transfer of Ownership of Cultural Property, in order to ensure that they were legally exported out of their countries of origin. In the Soviet occupation zone and the GDR, cultural property was also seized from its owners without compensation, for example in the context of land reforms or in the course of political persecution. And another, particularly task of provenance researchers is to look into objects of unknown ownership (known as <em>Fremdbesitz</em>) in the collections, and the circumstances surrounding items from the museums’ own holdings which were lost during the war. These examples illustrate the full breadth of this still very young discipline.</p> <p>In addition, the archivists of the Zentralarchiv support provenance research through targeted in-depth research of selected records, such as acquisition records. This makes it easier for researchers to access the relevant archival records and considerably reduces the time required to carry out research in the field, both for the Staatliche Museen zu Berlin’s own collection-related provenance research and for external researchers.</p> </div> </div> </div> <div class="row "><div class="col-md-6"> <div id="c50692" class=" " > <h3 class=""> Acquisition and Accession Logs </h3> <div class="image-teaser fluidstylecontentPartialsTeaser"> <figure class="image-teaser"> <a href="/en/research/acquisition-and-accession-logs/" target="_self" title="“Photocopien v.
