Abstract:<\/strong> This talk presents the Digital Benin project, which offers comprehensive access to the cultural heritage dispersed following the 1897 British military campaign on Benin City. Aggregating metadata from 138 institutions, the project maps over 5200 objects, more accurately known as “Emwin Arhe”. It highlights the complexities of provenance research for these looted items, revealing significant gaps in documentation. The platform also provides insights into the art market patterns that facilitated their global circulation after 1897.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n
