The Académie de Philatélie was founded in 1928. It is the first to have been created in the world. Since the start its principal object has been to contribute to the development of philately by all means possible.
In 1968, the academy published the first volume (in two volumes) of its “Encyclopédie des timbres de France”, covering the period 1849-1853. Since this publication, it has published many books on a variety of topics.
Until 31.12.2026, the academy is offering 10 of its publications at 50% discount. Orders can be placed either from their e-shop or by writing to their email: academie.philatelie@gmail.com.
