The Project for the Study of Collecting and Provenance (PSCP) serves to align the expertise of the staff of the Getty Research Institute, its databases, and collections, with the work of researchers interested in the history of collecting, provenance, and display. The project supports the study of art collecting by broadening accessibility of its resources to researchers, establishing links with neighboring research institutions and around the world, and by hosting and participating in conferences, workshops, and scholarly meetings. The project includes the Getty Provenance Index Databases and some 25,000 paper files on individual collectors, and a wide range of related materials.

The project works closely with the University of Southern California's Program in the History of Collecting and Display, a graduate program directed by Daniela Bleichmar, USC Assistant Professor of Art History and Spanish and Portuguese.
