PhilosateleiaAbout Philosateleia
Philosateleia provides free U.S. stamp album pages for collectors, plus information and news about stamps and stamp collecting.
A brief history
Philosateleia’s editor registered the philosateleia.com domain in August 2002. For its first 3½ years of operation, the site served primarily as an image gallery for items in the editor’s personal collection.
At the beginning of 2006, Philosateleia began offering The Philosateleian free to collectors around the world. This U.S. stamp album is updated four times per year.
The most recent addition to Philosateleia is the Philosateleian Blog, which was launched in June 2009.
What does Philosateleia mean?
Philosateleia is a combination of two Greek words, “philos” (loving) and “ateleia” (exemption from tax). The term philately, which refers to the collection and study of postage stamps, is derived from those two words.
Who pays for Philosateleia?
The editor pays all expenses related to Philosateleia’s operation. This ensures the free stamp album pages and other content on this site remain free, and the site itself remains ad-free.
Although Philosateleia’s expenses are relatively low, the editor appreciates your support. There are several ways you can help, and you don’t have to spend a dime.
