Categories for collections by region

If you want to place a collection in a category indicating the place of origin, please use the map and the list below as a guide. Every collection should be in one and only one category; choose the most specific one possible. The category pages (e.g. Category:Collection from Northern France will show you which collections are already in the category, and normally contain a copy&paste ready category tag (e.g. [[Category:Collection from Northern France]]).
