Series 13. Postage Stamps, ca. 1873-1991, 2021

This series includes a collection of mostly twentieth century United States postage stamps, and USPS collectible and commemorative stamp advertisements (ca. 1960s-1970s). The stamps were originally donated without arrangement. Harold Forbes, University Librarian Emeritus at the West Virginia & Regional History Center, arranged them into an album, provided supplemental stamps, and provided a book about stamp collecting for those unfamiliar with the hobby. Forbes described his arrangement work in an enclosed letter (2021).
