This fonds consists of philatelic exhibition records from Charles Verge's roles as an exhibitor, organizer and judge, as well as philatelic memorabilia, records from activities in philatelic societies and foundations, personal records and correspondence.

Amongst the philatelic exhibitions records, Canada 92, the World Philatelic Youth Exhibition, held in Montreal in 1992 is particularly well covered. The records include: manuscript material, graphic design records (including a portfolio of Canada Post Corporation design proposals and art boards for their Canada 92 participation, designs for the overall floor plan, booths, display, and theme day cancellations), exhibition award ribbons, and sheets of Canada 92 exhibition labels and postal covers.

In addition, various iterations of the annual ORAPEX exhibition are also well covered, as Verge was involved in it through the RA Centre Stamp Club. Of particular note are the records from the 1993 show, which was done in conjunction with the Royal Philatelic Society of Canada's Royal '93 exhibition and Canada's 2nd National Philatelic Literature Exhibition (C2NPLE).

Philatelic memorabilia in the fonds consists of a variety of philatelic records and souvenirs from the many exhibitions Charles Verge attended, both in Canada and abroad, and includes items such as a 1989 U.S.S.R. semi-postal souvenir sheet issued to commemorate "Nature Conservation" (surtax for the Soviet Union of Philatelists), a Vatican City presentation folder, including contents, issued to commemorate the 500th anniversary of the discovery and Christianization of America, (1492-1992), and souvenir covers and programmes, including: a TIPEX '66 cover, Lakeshore '90 covers, and ORAPEX '90 covers, showcards, and programme.

Records in the philatelic societies and foundations relate to Verge's roles in organizations such as the Royal Philatelic Society of Canada, the British North American Philatelic Society, the American Philatelic Society, and others.

The records in the personal and correspondence series relate to various other activities, including freelance work for the Ottawa Citizen and Canadian Stamp News, interviews given, general correspondence. The series also includes historical photographs from Montreal depicting unidentified women and children. The photographs were taken by Montreal photographers Rice, Dupras & Colas.

The philatelists' files series includes the records of other philatelists, whose documents were given to Charles Verge, including Allan Whalen, Ian Taylor, Ralph Mitchener, and Kenneth Rowe. These records include an extensive collection of philatelic exhibition medals awarded to Mitchener, philatelic records for research and souvenirs, photographs and textual records related to the various philatelists' research areas.

The fonds is divided into the following five series: Philatelic Exhibitions; Philatelic Societies and Foundations; Canadian Postal Museum and Friends of the Canadian Postal Museum; Philatelists' Files; Personal and Correspondence.

Verge, Charles J. G., 1947- : Charles J.G. Verge was born in 1947 in the city of Montreal. He received a B.A. from Collège Mont-Saint-Louis in 1968 and a M.A. in history from the University of Ottawa in 1970. Joining the Federal Public Service upon graduation, he held many managerial posts before retiring in 1997 as acting Director General (Material Contracting and Facility Management) at Transport Canada.

Charles Verge joined the world of organized philately in 1977 by becoming a member of the Royal Philatelic Society of Canada (RPSC). Since then, he has become a member of over 40 philatelic groups, associations, and societies including all major Canadian groups.

Mr. Verge's philatelic interests lie principally in the philately and postal history of Ireland. He is past-president of the Eire Philatelic Association (EPA), an international association of collectors interested in the philately of Ireland. His other collecting interests are the postal history of Papineau County in Québec, and Canadian and Irish Philatelic literature.

He has exhibited nationally and internationally and is an international-level philatelic judge. Since 1986, Mr. Verge has been involved in many positions with ORAPEX, Ottawa's National Philatelic Exhibition culminating in his chairing the Organizing Committee for several shows from 1988 to 1993 and is, since 1988, the judging chairman. In 1991, he founded Canada's National Philatelic Literature Exhibition, the largest of its kind in North America, and is the Chairman of its Organizing Committee. He was Co-chairman of Royal *1993* Royale at ORAPEX, the 65th Convention of the RPSC. He was also a member of the Executive and Organizing Committees of CANADA 92, the 11th World Philatelic Youth Exhibition, held in March 1992 in Montreal, and CAPEX '96, a World Philatelic Exhibition held in Toronto in June 1996.

Mr. Verge was elected a director of the RPSC in 1992 and appointed Chairman of the RPSC's Canada Post Liaison Committee in 1995. From 1990 to 1997, he was Chairman of the RPSC's Judging Programme. In 1997, Verge became a Fellow of the RPSC, and from 2000-2006, served as its President.

In 2007 Charles Verge moved to Toronto and continues to be very active in national and international philately. He was a stamp columnist for the Ottawa Citizen until 2008, wrote for Scott Stamp Monthly and has written two books as well as numerous articles. He continues to serve as Historian and Archivist of the RPSC as well as becoming the Secretary, Archivist and Historian of the Vincent Graves Greene Philatelic Research Foundation. Mr. Verge also runs his own philatelic consulting firm - notably working with Ron Brigham in the auctions of the Brigham Collection - and publishing house.
