The National Endowment for the Humanities (NEH) Division of Preservation and Access program (CFDA 45.149) awarded a $349,315 Project Grant to the Foundation For Ethical Stewardship Of Cultural Heritage, doing business as Fesch, for the "The Mediterranean Antiquities Provenance Research Alliance (MAPRA): Phase I" project. This 3-year project (3/1/2024 to 2/28/2027) will bring together academics and museum professionals to create data standards and a protocol for undertaking provenance research on art and artifacts from the ancient Mediterranean. The goal is to help address the issue of looted and stolen antiquities by establishing best practices to trace the ownership history of these culturally significant objects and curb the illicit trade in ancient artifacts.
