Field notes
The collection starts with paintings whose locations are unconfirmed. Contributors add clues as points or areas; these appear on a shared map, where overlapping suggestions narrow the search rather than erase dissenting ones. A painting is marked discovered after a present-day photograph is reviewed, with the reviewer recording confidence from low to confirmed. The project says registered users can propose locations.
