UK National Gallery Whereabouts of paintings 1933-1945

The old url for the UK National Gallery  Whereabouts of  paintings 1933-1945 no longer works  

(https://www.nationalgallery.org.uk/paintings/history/collection-history/whereabouts-of-paintings-1933-45)

Fortunately, there is a new url that works. 

https://www.nationalgallery.org.uk/about-us/history/collection-history/whereabouts-of-paintings-1933-1945


And, as backup, there is the Internet Archive, where people and bots saved the url 23 times.

If you click on 2011, a calendar on the "Wayback Machine" displays dates when the url was saved.  One can choose which archived date to see. 

On July 3, 2011, for example, the UK National Gallery  Whereabouts of  paintings 1933-1945 looked like this:

Here's the archived url for July 3 2011:
 http://web.archive.org/web/20110703083326/https://www.nationalgallery.org.uk/paintings/history/collection-history/whereabouts-of-paintings-1933-45

The idea is that no matter what happens to the file in the future - information can be moved to another url during a reorganisation, modified or even deleted at any time -- there remains, like in days of yore, a copy of it as it was on this day. 

In the case of "UK National Gallery  Whereabouts of  paintings 1933-1945", the provenance information still exists but in a different place. The url changed, as urls often do - even (incredible though it may seem) for memory institutions. It is a good idea to archive the new url as well, given the risk of it changing in turn.


Rot link on the internet is like entire libraries burning every day, silently.

It can be consulted using the "Wayback Machine" on the Internet Archive.


Anyone dealing with topics like the Holocaust or looted art will help themselves and other researchers in the future by systematically saving to the internet archive pages (urls)  that contain useful information and references.

Archiving links to all articles and pages used in research should be considered a "best practice".

Whereabouts of paintings 1933–45

List of works with incomplete provenance from 1933–1945

In the light of concern that some works of art now in public collections may have been improperly acquired during the period 1933–1945, without restitution having been made, the National Gallery has paid particular attention to the whereabouts of its paintings during those years.
Part of the National Gallery's normal work is to investigate the whereabouts of its paintings from the time they were painted until the time they entered the Gallery's collection.
This may reveal material of great historical interest concerning, for example, the identity of the painter, the purpose for which the picture was painted, and changing patterns of collecting taste.
In March 1999, with the cooperation of the Gallery, The Art Newspaper published an initial list of paintings in the Gallery with incomplete provenance information for the period 1933–1945. Since then the Gallery's research has continued and the list has been updated from time to time and made available to any member of the public on request.
As at 31 March 2008, the Gallery had not received any claims asserting on behalf of another or others that any of the paintings on its list was looted or otherwise improperly acquired, nor was it aware of any such claim in process.
If further information is needed in respect of any particular painting, please in the first instance email lad@ng-london.org.uk.
*Early provenances for pictures are not given. NG numbers are inventory numbers. (D) signifies dealer.
