Mission of PaPHS

PaPHS
is a non-profit, educational membership organization founded
in 1974. It has as its primary purpose the cultivation and
promotion of the study of the postal history of Pennsylvania.

PaPHS
encourages the acquisition and preservation of the material
(generally, covers or folded letters) relevant and necessary
to the study and understanding of such postal history. To
that end, PaPHS
supports the publication of original research in respect of
such knowledge for the benefit of its members and the general
public.
