It was organized in 1999. Anne Webber, and David Lewis are co-chairs.[1]
In 2011, they joined with The National Archives (United Kingdom), the National Archives and Records Administration, and German Federal Archives, to combine a single web portal, of stolen art.[2]
Recovery
In 2006 the BBC foreign correspondent Sir Charles Wheeler returned an original Alessandro Allori painting to the Gemäldegalerie, Berlin. He had been given it in Germany in 1952, but only recently realized its origin and that it must have been looted in the wake of World War II. The work is possibly a portrait of Eleonora (Dianora) di Toledo de' Medici, niece of Eleonora di Toledo, and measures 12 cm x 16 cm.[3]
