To answer your question quoted below, Mark, returning stolen work to its 
rightful owner is always the right thing to do, regardless of whether they 
are going to sell it, give it to a museum, or store it in the attic. 
Museums have no business telling people what to do with their own 
possessions.

To the original query, I would suggest checking the AAM website for info & 
links:  http://www.aam-us.org/museumresources/prov/index.cfm
and you can look at our website to see how a small museum without a 
provenance research budget is handling it:
