Boston Philatelic Society

A longtime part of New England stamp collecting, this Boston-based society helped give the region’s philatelic community a place to meet, trade ideas, and support major shows. Recent federation listings show the group still recognized today, though its meeting details are currently listed as to be announced.

About the author

The Boston Philatelic Society is a stamp-collecting club based in the Boston area and part of the wider New England philatelic scene. The Northeastern Federation of Stamp Clubs describes New England as one of the most active philatelic regions in the United States, with many local societies contributing to that tradition.

Federation history notes that the former three-day Boston Show was co-sponsored by the Boston Philatelic Society and the American Stamp Dealers Association, showing that the society played a visible role in regional exhibitions as well as regular club life.

A current federation member page lists David A. Libby as interim president and treasurer, with meeting time and place marked "TBA." That suggests the society remains recognized, even if its present schedule is not clearly posted online.
