Give your family’s stamp collection a home
If you’ve inherited an album of Polish stamps, we’d like to hear about the person who collected them. We welcome offers of stamps, letters and postcards for the Foundation’s collection in Poland.
From our collection. This 1978 souvenir sheet commemorates Mirosław Hermaszewski, the first Pole in space.
I’ve inherited a stamp album. Where do I start?
Leave the stamps on their pages and envelopes. Keep the collector’s notes with them. A few photos of whole pages and a rough count of the albums are enough for a first conversation.
Tell us about your stamps
You might have a single family letter or several shelves of albums. Tell us where the material came from and where it is now, especially if you are writing from abroad.
