The Hellenic Philatelic Society
celebrates
its 100th Birthday!
In celebration of its centenary, the Hellenic Philatelic Society (HPS) has released a publication showcasing its longstanding contributions to philately and culture. The publication highlights the richness of philately and its profound connections to history, sociology, the arts, and communication, as reflected in philatelic items. The Society aims to provide both the philatelic community and the general public with a book of exceptional quality in both content and aesthetics.
Philately from a different perspective
The 100th Anniversary Edition features philatelic items from the collections of HPS members and friends, all of which are, in some way, related to Greece.

- Headlines

- Emotions
- Personalities
- Friends and Enemies
- Revolutions – Campaigns
