The IFAR Journal
In Spring 1998, IFAR introduced a quarterly journal featuring information on art authentication, art fraud, art and cultural property law and ethics, World War II-era art restitution issues, and art theft. A special feature is the Stolen Art Alert, published by IFAR since 1977. IFAR Journal replaced IFAR's previous publication, IFARreports.
