Wikiproject Looted Heritage aims to use Wikidata to document looted cultural heritage. Its primary focus is on the colonial era, but it also encompasses other relevant historical periods.
Scope[edit]
Artworks, sacred items, human remains, and other forms of tangible and intangible artifacts that may be considered a part of a people's heritage.
Goal[edit]
- Items exist for all notable looted cultural heritage
- Relevant Properties needed to model these Items exist, including their
- description and characteristics
- circumstances of looting
- provenance
- restitution efforts
- Items include photographs on Commons
- Items get coverage on Wikipedia and/or other Wikimedia projects
How you can help[edit]
