Countries

 

There are 84 countries represented in our online collection spanning 78,373 objects, which means that about 35.89% of all our stuff has a country to call home.

A note about the countries listed here: These are only those countries for which we were able to successfully match an object's stated location against the Where on Earth (WOE) gazetteer. Eventually every object will have a unique gazetteer ID (whether it's WOE or the Getty's thesaurus of named places or some other source) but that's not the case at the moment, partly because in the push to release the beta version of the website we've opted for things that could be solved programatically with a high degree of confidence and left things that need extra checking to identify, whether by humans or machines, for later.
