A STAMP FOR EVERY COUNTRY

A L B U M

EXPLORE WORLDCULTURES & HISTORY

Start a collection of almost 800 stamps—one from every country in the world

that has produced stamps, including many countries that no longer exist.

Find the continents that interest you. Look for stamps from your ancestral homelands,

countries you have visited, or countries you want to visit. Trace the history

of a country or region. Enjoy your journey around the world through stamps.

The William H. Gross Stamp Gallery exhibit of “A Stamp for Every Country” inspired this

worldwide postage stamp album. After the Philately Department team selected stamps and

determined organization, Gallagher & Associates designers created panels for public display

to tell the geographical and historical stories of stamp issuing countries.

Designer Lindsay Rowinski then turned that layout concept into this album to bring global

philately into your home.

RESOURCESCollecting postage stamps as a hobby has fascinated many people worldwide. Whether an

exercise in learning geography and history, a stress-buster after a hard day on the job, a study

for a school lesson, a miniature gallery in the world of art, or a way to document a vacation,

stamp collecting o�ers many ways for individuals and families to collect and �nd enjoyment.

Stamp collecting has very few rules!

A good magnifying glass will bring added enjoyment to your study. To handle the stamps

without damaging them, use tongs to pick up the stamps. Collectors use hinges, or prefolded

adhesives, to attach used stamps to album pages. A great book to help you get started in

stamp collecting is Janet Klug’s Guide to Stamp Collecting. These and other stamp collecting

items are available from stamp dealers locally, online, and by phone order.

The website of the National Postal Museum, www.postalmuseum.si.edu, is full of tips for

getting started and o�ers a variety of information for studying your collection. The American

Philatelic Society’s website has information about stamp clubs, stamp shows, and stamp

dealers, www.stamp.org. Find answers to your questions about postage stamps and

collecting at www.Learnaboutstamps.com.
