The policy, aimed at redressing injustice, focuses on cooperation with countries of origin, processing a request for restitution and supporting provenance research.
For this first inventory, twenty-eight institutions that manage (part of) the national collection on behalf of the Dutch State were asked to examine their own collection, using a questionnaire.
Twenty regional museums with a possible link with Suriname have also been contacted.
By having the quick scan carried out by the institutions themselves, optimal use was made of their knowledge and experience with their own collection and its accessibility.
The overview is included, but only in Dutch available. It was shared with the National Museum Committee Suriname.
