On Tuesday 4 June 2019, the National Museum Library organised a workshop where it acquainted attendees with a newly created online form intended primarily for external users: librarians from smaller libraries, administrators of museums with their own library collections, etc.; all those who expressed an interest in creating records of the owners of books from their own libraries. The form makes it possible to make records from the comfort of one’s own office (or the discomfort of one’s own depository) and send them directly to the PROVENIO database, where they will be publicly accessible.

Cooperation with French colleagues was already established when carrying out the Provenio grant project (2012–2015, methodology for processing provenances, conference on the person and work of Hanuš Jelínek). During preparations for the current project, a deeper mapping out of the history of Czech-French relations was planned out through the study of Bohemian collections (in both archives and libraries) in France. Following preparatory searches in the online categories of libraries there, employees visited the aforementioned Paris-based institutions.
