The Philatelic Society of Canberra is one of Australia’s most active philatelic societies, celebrating 90 years of operation in November 2022.
Over the years several well-known Australian philatelists including Dr Alan Tippett, Alan Salisbury, ISO and Dr Ed Druce have been prominent members of the Society, laying the foundations upon which the current membership continues to successfully participate in and contribute to philatelic activities at a local, national and international level. The Society welcomes collectors from across the broad spectrum of philatelic knowledge and participation, from beginners through to the most experienced exhibitors.

Meetings
The program contains our full range of meetings which includes our first Thursday meeting where society business is conducted and we see displays of philatelic material from both society members and invited displays from around Australia.
On the third Thursday we have an exchange book evening where members can buy stamps for their collection. The exchange books are also circulated to members to peruse in the quiet of their own homes.
Other meetings include our postcard group and our specialist Machin group which meet once a month.
