Abstract: This paper investigates infinite matroids from a categorical perspective. We prove that the category of infinite matroids is a proto-exact category in the sense of Dyckerhoff and Kapranov, thereby generalizing our previous result on the category of finite matroids. We also characterize finitary matroids as co-limits of finite matroids, and show that the finite matroids are precisely the finitely presentable objects in this category.
