Object ID finds a new home at CoPAT

Object ID has been given a new home at the Council for the Protection of Art Theft (CoPAT). At a meeting in London on 1 July the Getty Information Institute announced that CopAT would be taking over this important international collaborative project. The transfer of the project to CoPAT has been made possible by financial assistance from the Getty Grant Program.

Welcoming the announcement, CoPAT chairman Mark Dalrymple said: “CoPAT is delighted the Getty believes our organisation to the best home for Object ID. It fits very well with our current program and we will actively promote the use of the standard at both national and international levels.”

Getty Grant Program Director Deborah Marrow said: “The Object ID standard its on just one small piece of paper but it represents something important — the establishment of common ground beteeen organisations around the world. It can help lay the foundations for effective collaboration to protect our cultural heritage.”

On the road with BBC

At the recent BBC Antiques Roadshow in Worcester Cathedral, Worcester, UK, officers of West Mercia Constabulary distributed copies of the Object ID Checklist, the Art Loss Register’s Object ID photographic scale, and an Art & Antiques Descriptive Record form based on Object ID. The force’s due diligence officer, Nick Humphrey, joined with colleagues from Crime Prevention to encourage those attending the roadshow to photograph and make descriptions of art and antiques of monetary or sentimental value.
