Membership DPAS
Dear sir, madam,
We do appreciate your interest for the DUTCH PHILATELIC ASSOCIATION SKANDINAVIA. (DPAS) Your sympathy for the Scandinavian philately will hopefully deepen when you become a member of our association. We will inform you about philatelic and postal particularities of the countries and topics belonging to this collecting area.
SCANDINAVIA is an area with great beauty and contrasts in nature, history, culture and environment. The, mostly, Scandinavian stamp designers represent its nature, culture and religion on a sparkling way with all the time again a surprising view. Our area is Norge, Sverige, Danmark, Grönland, Färöarne, Ísland, Danska Västindien, Finland, Åland.
Pre-philately speaks his own language and takes you into the history of not only this area but also outside, pointing you at the influences of these countries on the neighbouring areas and vice versa. Philately, the time area that started with the appearing of the stamp, speaks a new language about communication and infrastructure.
The DUTCH PHILATELIC ASSOCIATION SKANDINAVIA is not only an association for the professional but certainly also for the beginning collector whose interest for this Nordic area is just wakening and /or growing. Postal history such as covers, cards, postal stationary, forms, Cinderella’s and other entries can also give their extras to topic and thematic collections.
