 Historical Note

Philately is the collecting and study of stamps and other postal related memorabilia, such as envelopes sent through the mail (known to collectors as covers) and postmarks. Philatelists are people who collect and study stamps and other postal related memorabilia. Some collectors focus on items that are related to certain themes, such as the polar regions. Stamps, covers, postmarks, and cachets have all been developed to reflect the polar regions and commemorate expeditions there.

The American Society of Polar Philatelists is an organization of philatelists interested in stamps, covers, and postal history related to the polar regions. The organization was founded in 1956, and as of 2022, had approximately 300 members worldwide.

 Scope and Contents

The American Society of Polar Philatelists Polar History Research Materials contains research materials that an unknown member of the American Society of Polar Philatelists donated to the organization.

A small amount of materials are about philately related to the polar regions. The materials include press clippings, periodicals, newsletters, reports, other publications, press releases, as well as some maps, photographs, and administrative records. The materials are dated from 1922-1985 with the bulk of materials from 1950-1970. The file titles were created by the member who compiled the research. Some file titles are preceded by alphanumeric identifiers, which were also assigned by the member who compiled the research.
