Circulating Artefacts: A cross-platform alliance against the looting of pharaonic antiquities


Another Bloomsbury database: 
We anticipate that the trade, collectors, museums, colleagues, police, and members of the general public will increasingly contribute to the database, and consult it as well. Everyone can help by supplying images and information on artefacts. 
on the other hand:
The database, which includes both images and provenance research, is not open to the public because the information it contains is legally sensitive...
It would probably help international collaboration and exchange of information, as well as contact between law-enforcement agencies, if this was not sited in a back room in a museum in a country outside the peripheries of Europe, but a major centre of European significance.
