Site Full Text Search Engine |
|
|
This
searches every word on (almost) every one of the 320+ pages of this
web site to find what you are looking for. Very useful.
Note that it does
not search the databases that create the variable content on
some of the pages such as the Links and Glossary and Journal Article
pages. We hope to add this functionality in the future.

|
Glossary |
|
|
This has
a lot of Russian and philatelic terms defined, and if you can't find
the definition you want, I'll be pleased to try and add it for you. |
|
Journal Article Database |
|
|
One of
our most ambitious projects to date. A massive resource with
thousands of indexed records to articles that have appeared in
Russian philatelic journals from 1931 to the present day. |
|
Today in History |
|
|
Choose
any day of the year and be advised of relevant events on that date
in history. This is the same routine that shows you today's
information on our home page, but allows you to select any date of
your choosing. |

Web Links |
|
|
A
listing of various other web sites sorted by topic. |
|
World Society of
Russian Philately |
|
|
This
website deserves a separate listing. Membership (which is only
$10) gets you access to over 2000 pages of information about Russian
philately and over 10,000 images (kind of makes this site look small
and puny by comparison!). There are also quite a few public
parts of the site for everyone to access, including fairly active
message boards and display rooms.
An active and helpful
membership keep a series of discussions going.
If you're at all
interested in collecting Russian stamps and related material, I urge
you to join this very worthwhile group. |
|
Philatelic Research Links |
|
|
Provides
some information on how to find information elsewhere on the
internet and some starting points to surf out from. |
|
Postal Tariffs |
|
|
A series
of tables detailing the main postal rates in effect in Russia/Soviet
Union. |
|
Are Russian New Issues
Philatelically Valid? |
|
|
An
interesting and possibly heretical article with some surprising
conclusions. |
|
Scanning Stamps |
|
|
Discusses how to choose a scanner, and then how to best use it for
scanning stamps. |
|
Exporting Stamps from Russia |
|
|
An
interesting 'how to' about something that is actually very difficult
to do. |
