Prato (23 April 2024) – Two months on, it is safe to say that almost everything is ready for the International Conference “Postal History between Multidisciplinary and Diachronic Perspectives”, to be held in Prato between 20 and 22 June.
“This is the third edition of the conference that we are organising, knowing that, in recent years, there are no other similar proposals throughout Europe” announces Bruno Crevato-Selvaggi, director of the Istituto di studi storici postali “Aldo Cecchi” odv. “University professors, scholars and experts from America, Asia and Europe will meet in Prato to update participants on their respective studies, but also to get to know each other better and, if possible, to lay the foundations on which we can build something together”.
The programme is almost defined: around thirty short lectures hosted at the State Archives, the “Alessandro Lazzerini” Library, and the seat of the City Council. Depending on the case, the speeches will be in Italian, French or English. The entrance is free.
The topics will range from the Roman “cursus publicus” to communications between colonial Chile and the Spanish Crown, from mail orders to Cold War postcards, from the merchants of the Serenissima to the use of the camel for urgent mail in the ancient Caliphates, from couriers in imperial China to letters sent clandestinely from Romania, from the study on addresses to the Italian asylum system…
Hovik Musayelyan, President of the Armenian Philatelists Association, has sent us the following invitation.
Last year, on December 4-14, a philatelic exhibition devoted to Christian Values took place in Yerevan. The official cancellation ceremony of the postcard was issued by the Postal Service (Haypost) of Armenia. Various collections of 30 philatelists were presented, including exclusive stamps, envelopes and postcards dedicated to the Armenian Apostolic Church and various branches of Christianity (Catholicism, Orthodoxy, and Protestantism).
An international philatelic exhibition devoted to postal history will take place this year in Yerevan on November 18-22. An organizational committee was formed, headed by Araik Harutyunyan, the Chief of Staff to the Prime Minister of the RA. The vice-presidents are Hovik Musayelyan, president of the Armenian Philatelists Association, and Arayik Abrahamyan, General Director of Haypost. Philatelists from Germany, Russia and the USA have already applied for participation.
Haypost will issue a special postcard devoted to the exhibition, which will be released for circulation during the official opening ceremony of the exhibition. The agenda, the official logo of the exhibition, the design of the medals and the new stands have been confirmed by the organizational committee.
The exhibition will be open to all exhibiting classes.
The Armenian Philatelists Association, which is the main organizer of the exhibition, invites member unions of FEPA to participate.
We also expect that this international exhibition will be recognized by FEPA.
Three new books have been recently presented by Tobias Huylmans and Jonas Hällström, both Managing Directors at the Global Philatelic Network. The presentation took place in Bucharest during EFIRO 2024 World Stamp Exhibition.
Edition d’Or vol. 71: Joseph Hackmey, Barbados and Grenada
