What is the DigiClerk Stamp Collection?

stamp collection

DigiClerk Stamp Collection is the world’s first online global stamp club.  The collection allows Members to share their collections, online, around the world.  This frees philately from physical collections and meetings.

Problem

Who gets to see your collection? The answer is probably, only you!

Solution

Upload and explore with The DigiClerk Stamp Collection (DCSC).  Give your stamps a much wider audience and share your collection of stamps online with other Members around the world.

With DCSC, you can:

  • capture and digitise an image of your stamp(s), using:
    • the DCSC app on your smart phone, or
    • a digital camera, or
    • a scanner.
  • upload the image onto the platform, and
  • identify and categorise the stamp image. DCSC helps identify the stamp and what set it belongs to (future development), and
  • create an accession number for the physical location to help sort and retrieve your physical stamps, and
  • publish your stamp collection and share it with fellow enthusiasts, and
  • explore others’ collections. DCSC will will also tell you which Members share the same collections and where the missing stamps are that you seek (future development).
  • use your electronic wallet to trade stamps with fellow Members (future development).

Philately/ stamp collection definition and history

The study of postage stamps, stamped envelopes, postmarks, postcards, and other materials relating to postal delivery is known as philately.

The term was created in 1864 by a Frenchman, Georges Herpin, who invented it from the Greek philos, “love,” and ateleia, “that which is tax-free”.  The postage stamp permitted the letter to come free of charge to the recipient, rendering it untaxed.  Who doesn’t like something tax free?!

The emergence of postage stamps was followed rapidly by the earliest reference to stamp collecting.  An advertisement in The Times of London in 1841 placed by “a young lady, being desirous of covering her dressing-room with cancelled postage stamps”.  The accumulation quickly progressed to systematic collecting of the various issues of particular countries and not always for use as wallpaper!
The first lists of stamps were published in 1861 by Oscar Berger-Levrault in Strasbourg and Alfred Potiquet in Paris. In England, Frederick Booty, J.E. Gray, and Mount Brown all issued catalogues in 1862.  Brown’s third edition (1866) listed 2,400 varieties, inclusive of what is now termed postal stationery or envelopes, wrappers, and letter sheets, as well as many local issues.

Books in which to keep stamps were first issued by Justin Lallier in Paris in 1862 and are known as stamp albums.
