Unsolved Cases

In many cases we are still lacking crucial information on the biographies of the rightful owners. In the menu on the right, you will find an alphabetical overview of our unsolved research cases. Clicking on the entries will lead you directly to the provenance markers in question (stamps, bookplates, autographs etc). Books in our stocks that have been classified as loot can be viewed in our campus catalogue

Hint: To look for a particular owner add the name in the search field and end with a question mark (?): e.g.: sgn nsr? AND sww provenance:levy? 

The database of the German Lost Art Foundation www.lostart.de is available for nationwide research on looted items held by libraries, museums and archives.
