List of stamp clubs and philatelic societies in the United States

Last updated

Stamp collecting began to emerge from obscurity in America after the Civil War, and by the 1880s philatelic societies were being formed to connect collectors, and to legitimize and publicize the hobby. The American Philatelic Association was formed in 1886. [1] Other national, regional, and local clubs followed during the late nineteenth and into the twentieth centuries. Most of these societies were dominated by white men of financial means, and some actively excluded women and persons of color, though newer and more local clubs formed in the early twentieth century were often more welcoming. [1]

Contents

By the middle of the twentieth century, hundreds of stamp clubs had formed throughout the United States, often affiliated with large organizations, such as the American Philatelic Society or the American Topical Association. Many published their own scholarly articles or journals, while others advertised in the journals of larger philatelic associations. Although participation in the hobby had declined by the early twenty-first century, many state and local stamp clubs continue to exist and meet on a regular basis.

<span class="mw-page-title-main">Philately</span> Study of stamps and postal history and other related items

Philately is the study of postage stamps and postal history. It also refers to the collection and appreciation of stamps and other philatelic products. While closely associated with stamp collecting and the study of postage, it is possible to be a philatelist without owning any stamps. For instance, the stamps being studied may be very rare or reside only in museums.

<span class="mw-page-title-main">Stamp collecting</span> Collecting of postage stamps and related objects

Stamp collecting is the collecting of postage stamps and related objects. It is an area of philately, which is the study of stamps. It has been one of the world's most popular hobbies since the late nineteenth century with the rapid growth of the postal service, as a stream of new stamps was produced by countries that sought to advertise their distinctiveness through their stamps.

<span class="mw-page-title-main">Cancellation (mail)</span> Postal marking to deface a stamp and prevent its re-use

A cancellation is a postal marking applied on a postage stamp or postal stationery to deface the stamp and to prevent its reuse. Cancellations come in a huge variety of designs, shapes, sizes, and colors. Modern cancellations commonly include the date and post office location where the stamps were mailed, in addition to lines or bars designed to cover the stamp itself. The term "postmark" refers specifically to the part that contains the date and posting location, but the term is often used interchangeably with "cancellation" as it may serve that purpose. The portion of a cancellation that is designed to deface the stamp and does not contain writing is also called the "obliteration" or killer. Some stamps are issued pre-cancelled with a printed or stamped cancellation and do not need to have a cancellation added. Cancellations can affect the value of stamps to collectors, positively or negatively. Cancellations of some countries have been extensively studied by philatelists, and many stamp collectors and postal history collectors collect cancellations in addition to the stamps themselves.
