Middle East Philatelic Bulletin. For those interested in the philately of the Middle East, Bruno Crevato-Selvaggi has drawn our attention to this magazine produced in Germany which contains an interesting range of articles. It is now available on line completely free and can be found at:

Philanotes. Our good friend Vojtech Jankovic has again drawn our attention to the range of articles (in English) that are available at the philanotes philatelic portal. Much of the material there is concerned with Czech and Slovak philately but it also looks at topics further afield as well as providing news updates. You can find it at:

David Feldman introduces the on-line Museum of Philately
At the virtual Stampex held from 1st – 3rd October David Feldman introduced his plan to build a digital Museum of Philately. The idea is to have an on-line platform where images of collections can be stored and available to view long after the actual collection has been disposed of. In a video that is now on YouTube David described how he had already put his own ‘Emerald’ collection into the Museum.
This is an interesting idea for dealing with the eternal question of, ‘How can I preserve my collection for posterity?’
