Abstract:

This collection consists of a stamp album compiled by Marguerite Hallowell and entitled "Quakers on Stamps." Included are international postage stamps depicting Quakers, with brief historical notation. Also included are photocopies of several articles on Quakers and postage stamps, including one by Maurice Mook entitled "Friendly Philately", which appeared on the November 1956 Friends Journal. Marguerite Hallowell notes that this article inspired her collection.
