In the Deutsche Gesellschaft für Ordenskunde e.V. there are various collectors of colonial objects. These include individual photos and albums, certificates (award certificates of orders and decorations as well as official letters, reports and contracts), diaries and other objects from the colonies. Among other things, cooperation between the colonial powers also plays a role. There are also private estates of colonial soldiers and inhabitants of the former German colonies.
