I'm a worldwide collector based in the Netherlands, collecting for 25+ years. My main collecting interest is how stamps reflect world history. Based on that I have set up my collection which currently counts some 25,000 stamps from some 1,800 stamp issuing entities. One of the things I like to do most maybe is research on the historical context of stamps issued. To share knowledge and to gain knowledge on that is why I'm happy to join The Stamp Forum.

SWH, I'm glad you decided to join us and hope your stay is long and productive! Like you, I find the historical context behind both the stamps and the letters they conveyed to be fascinating. Please feel free to join in the discussions and post images as appropriate (we like images here). Adding explanations of the images is also helpful as they enable research conducted using the various search engines.

Welcome to TSF, Gerben! Great to see you here! Gerben has a nice website going on stamp world history. I've visited it several times, so I thought I'd mention it on his behalf. You can get the link by visiting his profile page. k |
