FOUNDED in 1890, the Oxford Philatelic Society is celebrating its 125th anniversary this year.

As part of our celebrations, we are researching the society’s development over the last century-and-a-quarter.

The present-day society is in rude health, growing its membership, and it would be great for readers to add to our knowledge.

We seek personal reminiscences, papers and ephemera from any period of the society’s history.

If you can assist, then please contact our researcher, Alan Hughes, 3 Moody Road, Headington, Oxford, OX3 0DH: hughesam1@talk21.com
