- Philately (Definition)
- Generally, philately is the hobby of collecting postage stamps. Traditional philately involves the acquisition and direct observation and study of stamps of the world. The study of stamps is enhanced using philatelic literature. Philately is greatly informed by postal history, the study of the mails. Country collecting is a popular form whereby a hobbyist limits a study to one or several countries of interest. Topical philately is themed collecting along topics of interest (e.g. Space, Transportation or Butterflies) using stamps and postal ephemera of the world.
