>Subject: Philatelic Judaica > >--------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- > >Emory University has recently acquired the Sol Singer Collection of Philatelic >Judaica. It includes Israeli, Judaica, and JNF stamps. We are seeking advice >on the best ways to house, describe, and provide access to the collection, and >we are looking for other repositories holding similar collections that we >might >work with. At this stage we have some particular questions: > >o How are you housing your stamps? Are their particular brands and kinds of >stamp holders that you have found work best? How have you organized your >collection? > >o What books and catalogues have been the most helpful to you? > >o Have you created a database or inventory listing all of your >stamps? Do you >know of any databases created elsewhere? (We have the CD of Israeli >stamps put >out by Sweet Child.) > >o Have you digitized any of your stamps? > >o Do researchers use your stamp collection? Do you have special >procedures or >rules for researchers who use the stamp collection? > >o Do you know of any other repositories that have collections of Philatelic >Judaica? (We have spoken with Hebrew Union College.) > >Thank you in advance for your help. > >With best wishes, >Naomi L. Nelson >Coordinator for Research Services >Special Collections & Archives >Robert W.
