Our 36th Year
Worldwide Stamps Issued
Stamps from countries other than the United States and Canada that commemorate or feature people or events of the African diaspora will be presented in this section. We will try to include as much basic information as possible. We begin with stamps (and formats) that have been recently issued. Subsequent pages will catch up on the stamps issued since the last stamps presented on our old website. Those "older" stamps can be seen using the links at the bottom of this page. Elsewhere on our website will be links to international posts and to dealers who may sell the stamps we present.
