Reliable information about the provenance of cultural goods has become more important, and all actors in the art world are expected to adhere to a form of compliance that has long been customary in other sectors.

The question arises whether legally documented information can lead to a uniform and safe way of registering provenance information. MACCH (Maastricht Centre for Arts and Culture, Conservation and Heritage) investigates initiatives in which the existence of an object is verified by an independent person, in which the available provenance documents are linked to this object in a secure way, and in which the information is stored and made accessible in a secure way.
