R.F.O. WEALTH ADVICE

23 THE COLLECTION This unique private collection comprises financial securities from the world over. Owing to its characteristics it simultaneously falls within several categories and it is accompanied by a vast series of other documents including letters and receipts. It can be considered a heritage of great cultural interest and part of the world’s financial history. The enhancement process carried out by the R.F.O. begins from ordering of the individual securities and documents, according to both the classic filing procedure and the digital filing process and it uses a filing method that has been created specifically for this type of collection. The classification fields have been increased as compared to the classic formulas to allow a better sharing of all the available data including non standardized data. Highly professional photographic techniques were used instead of scans thus allowing the object – to which a customized code has been assigned – to be enhanced for any and every use. The method has been specifically studied and customized bearing in mind the unique characteristics of this collection. The activities envisaged in the near future include the filing and digitalisation of the entire collection, the publishing of texts with the contribution of experts and researchers from international universities, the organisation and participation in public events, the exhibition of material on specific topics, lending to exhibitions – after receiving assurances on the organisational context, the identification of a permanent exhibition place to ensure its conservation and promotion.
