To mark the 75th anniversary of the State of Israel, the Israel Philatelic Federation (IPF) and the Society of Israel Philatelists (SIP) collaborate in launching The Israel 75 Philatelic Academy. The purpose of the Academy is to increase the knowledge of Holy Land Philately, and to avail collectors worldwide with the most recent studies in this field.
To achieve this goal, we have assembled philatelic exhibits covering many collecting fields, ranging in time from the Ottoman period to current day Israel. Most of the exhibits are from the Postal History or Traditional classes, but there are also representatives of other classes, such as Thematic Philately, Maximaphily and Picture Postcards.
In addition, the Academy will run a series of 10 lectures using the Zoom platform. The lectures are scheduled for the 5 Sundays of April – two consecutive lectures on each day. Participation is free and does not require pre-registration, although we can only accommodate 100 participants. The lectures will be recorded and subsequently uploaded to this website.
