EL
SALVADOR POSTAL HISTORY HANDBOOK
The Handbook project
| |
 |
El Salvador has the dubious distinction
of being one of the countries less covered by philatelic
literature. To remedy this situation, a group
of philatelists specialized in El Salvador joined
efforts some years ago to draft the first Philatelic
Handbook of El Salvador.
The first two stages of the Handbook will cover the postal history of the country
from the Colonial era to the year 1900, and it will include prephilately, stamp
issues and stationery.
The first part, covering the prephilatelic period,
was recently published by the Collectors Club of Chicago (http://www.collectorsclubchicago.org/el-salvador.php). |
 |
A parallel long-term project is
the creation of a Specialized Catalogue of El Salvador,
which would list all issues, varieties, and proofs
for both stamps and stationery, in contrast to the
Handbook which would provide a deeper understanding
of the reasons for the issues and would cover the
postal history aspects. |
 |
In order to achieve the
most comprehensive work possible, we would appreciate
feedback from any member or philatelist whose collecting
interests include El Salvador. Comments, additions,
or corrections can be sent to ggallegos@elsalvadorphilately.org . Every
information or image provided will be acknowledged
in the Handbook. We thank you in advance for any help
you can give!
Your help is important to finish this work we all
have been waiting for during the last 35 years!
