IMPORTANT NOTE: SHP’s 2027 Annual Meeting and Society Table will be at the Great American Stamp Show (GASS) in beautiful, downtown Albuquerque, New Mexico, from August 19-22, 2027. This is a change from the previous decision to meet at the Rocky Mountain Stamp Show near Denver, in May. Several key members will not be available for that Show, and the national GASS will allow us to reach a larger audience. We apologize for any problems that this change of venue might cause. More information will be forthcoming, but you can check the APS website at: stamps.org/events/great-american-stamp-show.

The Robert Morgan SHP Exhibiting Program

An Exhibitor Stipend is designed to encourage members to create exhibits related to Hungarian philately that will be shown at an APS World Series of Philately (WSP) show or a World Stamp Show (WSS).
