Public Catalogue Foundation

The Public Catalogue Foundation, a registered charity, has between 2003 and 2012 digitised all the about 210,000 oil paintings in public ownership in the United Kingdom, and made the paintings viewable by the public through a series of affordable catalogues and, in partnership with the BBC, the "Your Paintings" website. Works by some 40,000 painters are included.〔(PCK website, "What we do", accessed, 16 August, 2014 )〕
The catalogues and website allow readers to see a colour illustration and short description of every painting in the UK's national collections. This information has significant educational benefits and constitutes the building blocks for later art historical research. Revenue from catalogue sales made by collections will be dedicated to the conservation and restoration of oil paintings in their care. Coverage includes national and local museums and council collections, paintings in universities, bishop's palaces of the Church of England, hospitals, the properties owned by the National Trust, and some other private institutions such as the colleges of Oxford and Cambridge universities. The collections of bodies such as Arts Council England, English Heritage and the Government Art Collection are included.〔(Your Paintings website, "About us", "What qualifies a painting to be in the UK national collection?", accessed, 16 August, 2014 )〕 However the Royal Collection is not included.
The project was originally conceived as a series of printed catalogues, but before these were completed it was clear that a website was the best way to reach the widest public, a key aim of the project. The PCF now hopes to extend the project to cover public sculpture, for which funding is being sought from the Heritage Lottery Fund and other sources.
==Catalogue series==
Of the 210,000 oil paintings in public ownership in the UK, around 80% are not on public view. Many are held in storage or civic buildings without routine public access. At the same time, many of these collections have incomplete cataloguing records; very few have more than a small proportion of their paintings photographed, and hardly any collection has a complete illustrated catalogue of its oil paintings in book form or online. Since 2003, The Public Catalogue Foundation has been working to rectify this through a series of colour catalogues.
The ''Oil Paintings in Public Ownership'' book series is published by The PCF mainly on a large collection or county-by-county basis. A volume brings together from a county all the oil, acrylic and tempera paintings in museum collections, together with paintings held in civic buildings such as town halls, libraries, universities, hospitals and fire stations. Each county catalogue contains a colour photograph and basic information about each painting. All paintings are reproduced regardless of quality or condition.
The PCF’s first catalogue was published in June 2004, and the series is now complete in 85 volumes (see partial list below).
