Towards a Provenance Taxonomy for Donated Philatelic Lots

A Five-Kind Register and the Exhibition Eligibility Rule It Now Enforces

A paper from the School of Continuous Improvement develops a Provenance Register that open-codes 214 donation-intake records at a suburban philatelic society into a five-kind taxonomy of documented ownership history, and reports the society's Exhibition Eligibility Rule, which admits only the two most thoroughly documented kinds to competitive judging and bars the remaining three for the life of the collection, regardless of catalogue value.
