Website Launch Day
After some hard work and a steep learning curve, the Australian Society For Polar Philately has stepped into the 21st century with the launch of a website devoted to the hobby our members love.
Our intention is to make this the most comprehensive polar philatelic website in the world. As you all know, we live in the digital age and (while it may sometimes be challenging) this offers collectors many benefits. This new site can become an important source of research material and support – as well as a place for us each to showcase the exhibits we put together and the original research we create.
We also hope that it will encourage others to take up this wonderful hobby. With this launch, we believe that we are well on our way to achieving these goals.
