Membership

You're Invited to Join!

The United Postal Stationery Society was formed in 1945 through merger of the Postal Card Society of America, which had been established in 1891, and the International Postal Stationery Society, which had been organized in 1939. Today it is the largest society devoted to the collecting of postal stationery. Whether you collect a particular country, topic or the world, you'll benefit from membership in the United Postal Stationery Society. JOIN TODAY!
