A tool to structure and visualize provenance research

Loupe helps researchers build, visualize, and share the evidence behind an object's history, from its first known record to today.

What is it?

Loupe is a platform for provenance research. Structure an object's ownership history event by event, link each step to its supporting evidence, and visualize the full timeline, turning scattered archival research into a clear, shareable record.

Record ownership events with precise, standardized dates, including uncertain or partial ones, using the Extended Date/Time Format (EDTF) specification, so "circa 1900" or "before 1930" stay structured, meaningful data instead of loose text.
