The Project for the Study of Collecting and Provenance (PSCP) serves to
align the expertise of the staff of the Getty Research Institute, its
databases, and collections, with the work of researchers interested in the
history of collecting, provenance, and display. The project supports the
study of art collecting by broadening accessibility of its resources to
researchers, establishing links with neighboring research institutions and
around the world, and by hosting and participating in conferences,
workshops, and scholarly meetings. The project includes the Getty
Provenance Index Databases and some 25,000 paper files on individual
collectors, and a wide range of related materials.

The project works closely with the University of Southern California's
Approaches to the History of Collecting and Display, a graduate program
directed by Malcolm Baker, USC professor of art history:

Malcolm Baker also acts as a special advisor to the PSCP.
