The History of Philately in Great Britain and Ireland - A Bibliography of Monographs, Grey Literature and Selected Texts

For those who may wish to research the history of philately, this geographically limited bibliography has been compiled by David R Beech MBE FRPSL, formerly the Curator and Head of the Philatelic Collections at the British Library.

As little has been written on this subject in recent years, this work should be viewed as a work in progress with a special focus on Philatelic Society history.
