ART PROVENANCE DATASET: Origins Unknown: artworks recovered from Germany after WWII and held by the Dutch state

The Netherlands, which saw more than 75% of its Jews murdered in the Holocaust*, has created a website for "what remains of the artworks recuperated from Germany after World War II and is managed by the State". 

 The Nederlands Kunstbezit collection, or NK-COLLECTION, includes around 4,700 paintings (approx. 1,600), drawings, prints, ceramics, silverware, furniture, carpets and other special art objects. The artworks are currently located in a variety of places: Dutch museums, embassies and government buildings, as well as  the Cultural Heritage Agency (RCE) depot.** 

 The "Origins Unknown Agency" (Bureau Herkomst Gezocht  or "BHG")  was created in 1998, however digitisation and online publication only began in 2015. (see Origins Unknown)

 Several databases are public and can be consulted, item by item. However, there is not to our knowledge at present an easy way to download all the provenance files in order to analyse them with advanced digital tools outside of Holland.

 This first dataset is an attempt to facilitate access to the public provenance information published online by the Dutch authorities, and to put it in a form that will facilitate digital analysis.
