A great programme for PARIS PHILEX 2022 visitors
We read on the French Federation (FFAP) website that after an interruption in 2020 for health reasons, La Poste, the FFAP, the CNEP and the ADPhile have joined forces to organise, from 23 to 26 June, the PARIS-PHILEX 2022 exhibition at the Parc des Expositions de Paris, Porte de Versailles.
A great programme with lots of activities for the visitors is described in detail on the FFAP webpage: https://www.ffap.net/Evenements/pagesdediees/parisphilex2022.php
Part of the activities are described on the attached exhibition poster (click on the poster to enlarge).
Priceless moments on Father’s Day!
Copied from the FB account of the Hellenic Philatelic Society:
Moments: Cases like these, where you want to say more; not to let them end.
It was only recently that we received a message. A lady asked to offer a complete set of “Philotelia” magazine from 1924 to 1955 in eight nicely bound volumes. We though to ask her what price she had in mind in order to prepare the ad for their sale. We got it all wrong! She had not any intention to sell. The magazine belonged to her father and all she wanted was the volumes to go somewhere worthwhile; not to be thrown away, but to be welcomed in a nice new place.
Philately is not just a collection of “stuff”. It is definitely more. It is moments. Priceless moments like these, which we chose to share with you.
As of this day, on Father’s Day(!), the volumes of “Philotelia” are in new, hospitable hands. In case she is watching us, we would like to thank her for these beautiful moments.
2nd International Congress in Postal History, Prato, Italy
The Institute of Postal History Studies (Istituto di studi storici postali) “Aldo Cecchi”, in Prato, Italy, is getting ready for its 2nd International Congress in Postal History, which will take place from 23 to 25 June 2022. The invited papers will eloquently show the multidisciplinary nature of postal history and will cover subjects from classical antiquity to late 20th century.
In 2019 the Institute organised its 1st International Congress with participants from Europe and America. It proved to be an important scientific meeting between scholars who shared methodologies, experiences and ideas, and also discussed the state of the art in international research.
