Stamps are devices that help to identify the deposition of a fee for postal services. The first postage stamp issued in the world was by Great Britain in 1840. Later in 1847, the government of the United States also issued its first postal stamps. Gradually, postal stamps grew into a method for endorsing and identifying distinguished persons, events, institutions, and organizations. The library and librarians are scarcely adopted as subjects for stamps, especially in the US. However, when they are depicted on the stamps, it rarely represents the library or those associated with it in society.
The study of the history of postal services and postage stamps is called Philately. We can also refer to it as the gathering, identifying, and other research activities on stamps and a lot of philatelic products. Philately goes beyond the collection of stamps or the study of postage. Philately is basics the act of creating a wide variety of books, journals, and periodicals, than any other type. It is a kind of literature that encompasses numerous fascinating and valuable information that relates to stamp collecting and the history of postal services. You can access different kinds of philatelic literature, auction catalog, books, and periodicals, which are all useful in building an understanding of your library collection.

As the interests in the collecting of stamps increased and became a widespread activity, the marked the creation of special libraries and the introduction of diverse philatelic societies.
