(wm-pcp) The 12th volume of this journal for the history of philately and literature, which has been published digitally since 2013, again counts more than 250 pages in DIN A4 format and can be downloaded free of charge as a pdf file from www.philahistorica.de. This time, it starts with reviews of events, trends and outlooks for major events in 2025. Once again, the focus is on the history of philately, to which 14 studies are dedicated. Wolfgang Schneider celebrates a special anniversary with the 25th instalment of his series ‘Germany’s Stamp Artists’ and Volker Köppel delights readers with a documentation of his unusual collection ‘42nd German Philatelists’ Day Lauenstein 6–7 June 1936’, which was also the 1st Reichstag of the Reichsbund der Philatelisten (Reich Federation of Philatelists).
The announcement of a collection documentation on Philipp von Ferrari, which will be available from March, is also likely to attract attention. This will be approximately 225 pages long and will provide a biographical tribute to the life of the most important collector of all time. The usual yearbook should also be available in printed form by then (black and white instead of colour, approx. 1,000 pages, hardcover, edition of approx. 25 copies).
