COLONIAL MONEY AND POPULATION CONTROL ARTEFACTS ON ROMFI

On ROMFI you will find a growing reference to all imaginable types of artefacts from the history of human achievement, whether good or bad. For example, after the Herero Tribe in German South West Africa (Deutsch Suedwest Afrika) rose up against German Colonialism, and despite fierce resistance, faced eventual supression. In order to control the population, the German Colonial government issued passes. The reference to these is almost complete on ROMFI.

About ROMFI:
NEW COLLECTIBLES & REFERENCE WEBSITE

If you are a collector, history buff, or just looking for information on a particular item, there is a new Website that you should not miss. Its called ROMFI (Repository of Manufactured items) and its aim is to create an Encyclopedia of all items that have been manufactured or created. From the earliest days of mankind, up to the present day.

ROMFI can be found at www.romfi.com

Obviously in building such a huge encyclopedia / reference with such a vast scope of Collectibles, items, product and works of Art, ROMFI relies on Collectors, Museums, Manufacturers to input data so as to create a reference that everyone can use.

An added value for People, Collectors, Museums, Institutions who submit data is that while sharing their knowledge with the world, they build up a digital catalog of their own collection that is protected with a password, and so only they can see their collection. To visitors to ROMFI it is not possible to see to whom the differnt objects that are displayed belong.

Products and items displayed in ROMFI are also cross linked to a pallette of resources such as museums where such articles are displayed, restorers, clubs, societies, dealers where you can bus similar items, as well as the history of the company, creator or event that caused the item to be made.

ROMFI is not for profit and is free for users.
