October is Stamp Collecting Month! The National Postal Museum celebrates the beauty and lore of stamps. A stamp is much more than the physical evidence that postage has been paid. Stamps can be miniature works of art, treasured keepsakes, and rare collectibles. Throughout the month, we’ll be sharing some of our unique and favorite stamps. But to start, if you’re new to philately (the collection and study of postage stamps and related materials), here is an intro to the hobby!
