  • A list of the library holdings of the BC Philatelic Society, in PDF format. Copies are also available at meetings.

  • “BC Phil Exhibitions”: Data about stamp shows in Vancouver since 1925, compiled by BC Phil Archivist Eric Ranger. It seems that funding has presented problems to show organizers in the past, and stamp shows have been an on-again off-again activity.

  • The annual President’s Report, presented at the Society’s 2008 annual general meeting on March 12, 2008. Learn what happened in the previous year, and what his hopes were for the coming months.

  • An article, “What to do when you inherit stamps,” by Bob Ingraham, immediate Past President of the BC Philatelic Society. If a relative or friend has bequeathed a stamp collection to you, or if you found one in a dumpster, you probably want to know what it’s worth, and what to do with it.
