Stamp Image Information

The stamps were scanned at 1200 dpi and rotated until level. When reducing image size, the editing software (Adobe Photoshop™) was flagged to maintain the ratio between height and width. The large images were not scaled relative to each other. None are bigger than 6 inches high or 8 inches wide so they can be seen on screens with resolutions of 640x480. For the thumbnail images, the major dimension of the stamp (including perfs) in inches was multiplied by 40 and the result used as the number of pixels per inch for that axis of the image. This way the thumbnail images can be used to compare the relative size of the actual stamps. Both large and thumbnail images were converted directly from the scanned 1200 dpi to the GIF image's 72 dpi. The images were non-interlaced to conserve disk space.

These images were created in 1996/1997, and have not been changed or updated in the years since. The issue dates of the stamps are 1894-1980.

Selected Philatelic Links

A Beginner's Resource Guide to Philately - multiple links, some to articles in above references; thanks to Alex, a student volunteer whose granddad is a philatelist, for finding the site, and a local librarian for sending it. Their group was working on updating the library's reference guides. (October 16, 2021)

Stamp-Collecting Software, Organizations, Stamp Collecting for Kids and Resources (scroll to mentioned title headers, half-way down page) - links listed on a generalized philatelic article on a professional CMMS manufacturing software site (this is not an endorsement of the software).
Thanks to Jake, a 12 year old, newly minted philatelist who found it while researching information online, and he thought they would make a fine, more technolological and youth oriented addition to this section (February 7, 2019)
