African Postal Heritage (APH) papers

Postage stamps, postcards, and other forms of postal heritage are miniature communication tools and tell stories about places, routes, and times. Also for Africa they are part of material heritage, that can be made visible online, thanks to the improving open access possibilities of auction houses, collectors’ pages, stamp dealers, and others. Everyone who would like to contribute to this series, or wants to comment on its contents, is requested to contact the APH series editors, Ton Dietz (dietzaj@asc.leidenuniv.nl) and Jan Jansen (jansenj@fsw.leidenuniv.nl).
