BPMA Wiki launches NEW Philatelic glossary - News Release

The philatelic glossary is an exciting opportunity for you to help us to explode the mysteries behind philatelic terms. Forming part of a new wiki on The British Postal Museum & Archive (BPMA) website, the glossary is an evolving resource where visitors can edit and add to the content with their own ideas.

The glossary can be found at www.postalheritage.org.uk/wiki/PhilatelicGlossary. It forms part of

the new, cutting edge BPMA wiki. The wiki provides an opportunity for our website users to work together to create an informative and interesting resource that reflects their vast knowledge and experience of the history of the postal service. Visitors can both access the glossary for information and also produce their own content. If you think you can improve an existing entry, then go ahead and start editing. Alternatively, if you think a term is

missing, why not add it in. Together we can use the glossary to regenerate an interest in philately and open up stamps to new audiences. Editing is quick and easy (just click the ‘Edit this page’ button to get started).

Users are encouraged to discuss contributions and find out about interesting new entries by joining the BPMA Wiki User Group at http://groups.google.com/group/bpma-wiki-group
