Ex Situ

Ex Situ is an open-source spatial index designed to map displaced cultural artifacts from their original sites to the institutions currently holding them. This innovative tool addresses the challenge of tracking and understanding the provenance of cultural items that have been relocated due to conflict, theft, or other circumstances. Users can explore an interactive map that visually represents the journey of these artifacts, providing critical insights into their historical and cultural significance. Key features include detailed mapping, user-friendly navigation, and the ability to contribute data, making it a collaborative resource. Ex Situ is ideal for researchers, historians, curators, and anyone interested in the preservation of cultural heritage.
