The Provenance Record

Each time you Certify a work and/or a work is transferred, an entry is made in the work's provenance record.

To view the provenance record

• for a unique work, in the main Artworks view, click on the 'eye' icon on the artwork panel
• for an edition work, in the main Artworks view, click on 'View Edition' and then, for the specific record you want to view, click on the 'eye' icon on the edition work panel

You'll see a list similar to the following. Transfers and record edit events are also included if these have taken place.

To hide/show provenance record entries

For events generated within your account, you can hide the event by clicking on the Visibility button. You can 'unhide' a hidden event by clicking on the SHOW button.

Uploading/downloading provenance documents (e.g. receipts, Digital Certificates)

You can upload/download a supporting document for a provenance event by clicking on the Manage button in the Attachments column. Note that if the event is not hidden, these attachments can be downloaded - but not deleted - by a future keeper if the work is transferred. File extensions are currently not supported: you will need to add the appropriate extension (.PDF for a Digital Certificate) after downloading to view.

As a general rule, only Digital Certificates are uploaded for a Certification provenance event. Images (eg of receipts) in JPG format should be uploaded for Transfer events.
