Geographical troubles

25 June 2023

Over the past two weeks, intensive work has been done behind the scenes to improve and supplement the geographical classification in our collection database. This database has been in existence for more than fifteen years. In 2008 it was not so easy to find out in which region a country is located, certainly not in Africa and Asia, but even in Europe. Wikipedia now provides clear overviews. We noticed that the classification of countries in, for example, East or Central Africa was not always correctly noted. This is now standardized and in addition countless tribes can even be pinpointed in a specific province. All this seems so logical, but it turned out to be quite a round of checks with numerous changes. Anyway, if you still find a questionable location, we'd like to hear about it on the way to better!
