POSTAL NOTES AND ORDERS WEBSITE PROPOSED

NewZealand19441PoundPN1
Aidan Work writes:

"I am proposing the creation of an online catalogue & gallery website to showcase & educate the numismatic community about the postal notes & postal orders of the world, as the collection & study of postal notes & postal orders are very well-known among the philatelic community, but less well-known among the numismatic community.

"One of my aims is to rectify this - & it should be a collaborative project by postal order collectors themselves to help in creating an educational resource, considering some countries never had banknotes or coins, but did have their own postal orders.

"A gallery program that could be used can be downloaded from https://www.4homepages.de/download-4images onto a server of some sort.

"I don't have the technical ability or skills to be able to build a website myself.

"Catalogues about postal orders have been published in printed form, but there is more information that is coming to light since these books have been published."

Howard A. Daniel III writes:

"I will forward all of the pages in my catalogs with postal orders and postal orders to whomever will import them into the website. I also have some files of extra pieces not in my catalogs which are duplicates and more of what are in my catalogs."

Good luck! This would be a useful site. Aidan can be contacted at britishcommonwealthnumismatics@gmail.com . -Editor
