Show detail Hide detail

Royal Philatelic Society of Canada : Founded in 1888 under the name Canadian Philatelic Association. The organization continued intermittently until the First World War. It was revived in 1919 by the Winnipeg Philatelic Society which took on a national role and subsequently adopted the name Canadian Philatelic Association. In 1923, the name was changed to the Canadian Philatelic Society. In 1959, with royal assent, the name was changed to the Royal Philatelic Society of Canada (RPSC).

The society's mandate is to promote philately in Canada. It represents Canadian philatelists at the national level at the Fédération internationale de philatélie, the Federación Interamericana de Filatelia, and the World Philatelic Congress. It holds regular conventions, and publishes a journal, The Canadian philatelist = Le philatéliste canadien.

The RPSC is composed of individual members and official chapters. These official chapters are mainly local stamp clubs which maintain an affiliation with the national organization. Membership directory 1971 / Royal Philatelic Society of Canada. Ottawa : Royal Philatelic Society of Canada, 1971.
