NORDIA 2025 is just around the corner: 12–14 September. The exhibition will be held at the MalmöMässan Convention Centre in Malmö, Sweden. It is organised by the SFF (Swedish Philatelic Federation) and SFU (Philatelic Youth of Sweden).
NORDIA 2025 has received recognition from the Federation of European Philatelic Associations (FEPA). The main commercial partner of the exhibition is Postiljonen.
HISTRIA PHILA Alpe Adria 2026 has been officially announced by the Croatian Philatelic Federation (Hrvatski savez filatelista), co-organiser of the exhibition together with the Philatelic Numismatic Society “Poreč” (Filatelističko numizmatičko društvo Poreč). It will take place in Poreč-Parenzo, Istria, Croatia, from 9 to 12 April 2026, at the Žatika Sports Centre, with the support of the City of Poreč-Parenzo and the County of Istria.
The exhibition is open to all members of the Alpe-Adria Philately Group and to the Portuguese Philatelic Federation as a special guest. Almost all philatelic classes are included, and the exhibits will be displayed in approximately 400 frames. The entry fee is €30 per frame or literature exhibit, while youth exhibits will be free of charge.
The New Saxony Book – Lexicon of the Historical Municipalities and Authorities, Part 3: Southwest Saxony is the third of a series written by Steffen Eckert and published by Winterwork. The 864-page book documents Saxon municipalities between 1875 and 2024. Covering South and West Saxony, including the city of Chemnitz and the districts of Erzgebirgskreis, Vogtlandkreis and Zwickau, it provides a systematic record of all communities that were, at any point during this period, administratively independent.
Each entry supplies detailed information on population statistics, incorporation dates, administrative jurisdictions, registry offices, railway connections, postal facilities and historic breweries. In addition, the volume includes heraldic descriptions and illustrations of municipal coats of arms, as well as reproductions of official seals and fiscal marks for approximately eighty per cent of localities.
Introductory sections offer broader contextual studies, including currency changes, police and judicial authorities, postal and railway history, and Saxon brewing. Drawing upon two decades of meticulous research, this work constitutes a valuable resource for historians, archivists and philatelists alike.
