Dialogue on Censuses and Provenance Case Illustration: Madison, Florida Patricia A. Kaufmann here are diff erences of opinion among Confederate students on the way information is ac- Tcumulated and how it should best be recorded for censuses and provenance. Provenance, by dictionary defi nition, is the place of origin or earliest-known history of something, tracing it to the current day. Census criteria on the CSA website states the listings “must be supported by an image in a book, periodical, or named auction catalog.” Most times, an auction house will not have a named sale when only one or a few items are con- signed, even if they are rare. Th ere are some notable exceptions. Or, perhaps the consignor prefers to remain anonymous at that time. Is the person then to be excised from provenance for all time, if it is easily proven and accepted he owned the subject rarity? I understand these census mandates are made in an abundance of caution to ensure accuracy. But I respectfully disagree. In my opinion, these requirements are too restrictive. Th ere are excep- tions to every rule. It is no coincidence that the website census criteria are similar to those used for the Confeder- ate States of America Catalog and Handbook of Postage Stamps and Postal History. However, for the catalog, information did not need to have been published; the editors simply had to have an image on fi le for an item to be listed in the catalog. An image from a private non-published source was CSA Authentication Service Make sure you are getting what you paid for Have that new purchase authenticated by the CSA Authentication Service— a service that examines only Confederate stamps and postal history. -
