An inverse limit of finite groups has been called in the literature a pro-finite group and we have extensive studies of profinite groups from the cohomological point of view by J. P. Serre. The general theory of non-abelian modules has not yet been developed and therefore we consider a generalization of profinite abelian groups. We study inverse systems of discrete finite length R-modules. Profinite modules are inverse limits of discrete finite length R-modules with the inverse limit topology.
