Foundation activity
Creative heritage and collections
Families, heirs and private collections hold creative and cultural heritage, and it is often unclear what to do with it. You can simply write to the Foundation — even if the material is not yet sorted or described.
What creative heritage can be
Examples; the list is not exhaustive.
- Scores
- Manuscripts
- Letters
- Photographs
- Recordings
- Artworks
- Documents
- Archives and collections
- Rights
How the Foundation may help
Depending on the case and the Foundation's possibilities.
- Help understand the cultural significance
- Organise and catalogue
- Digitise
- Help clarify rights and property questions
- Identify appropriate archives, museums, publishers or specialists
- Help find a suitable preservation or publication solution
Where separately agreed, the Foundation may in future accept particular heritage, collections or rights into management or ownership. This never happens automatically: contacting the Foundation does not transfer material or rights.
