Forum

Forum is a new initiative of the APF.   Its purpose is to provide collectors and philatelists with a convenient means of seeking input and assistance with a given project, area of research or problem where the information required is unlikely to be available through conventional research methods, and to make the eventual outcome of that request known to others.

Initiators of Forum requests are welcome (but not obliged) to provide the APF Webmaster with responses they then receive, or they may choose to prepare a summary highlighting key new information obtained if considered more appropriate.  Forum initiators are particularly encouraged to do this where the subject matter is considered to be of general interest to the wider philatelic community.

Forum Guidelines

Forum will operate with the following simple guidelines:

The APF reserves the right to refuse any request that it considers does not comply with these guidelines.
