Are these stamps for sale? The answer is, for the moment, no.

The question refers to the DigiClerk Stamp Collection and recent posts on the Facebook site DigiClerk Stamps | Facebook.

They have been scanned, digitised and uploaded to demonstrate how DigiClerk allows stamp collectors to display their collection.  Displayed to a selected global audience. The community of stamp collectors.

We intend to develop a number of further features of DigiClerk and one of those will be the ability to trade stamps using an electronic wallet. Members will then be able to indicate that their stamps are for sale. Another feature will involve the use of AI to identify stamps and confirm which set they belong to.

However, we do not want to get ahead of ourselves and invent something that satisfies only us.  We need the DigiClerk Stamp Collection to satisfy you and therefore, we seek Founder Members, to fund and steer the development of the DigiClerk Stamp Collection with a once in a lifetime payment.

New functionality for the Stamp Collection?

People are already requesting new functionality for the stamp collection so we thought we should outline what further functionality is already planned.

DigiClerk (DC) currently has the ability to load one image for every one stamp on a record.  So, right now, you can capture:

  • an image of a jumble of stamps on the table
  • a page of stamps from an album or stock book
  • a stamp set
  • a stamp sheet
  • a stamp

However, we need to be able to upload two images because, sometimes, you need to be able to see the back of a stamp or the back of a first day cover. The ability to capture two images for one record is in the pipeline.

Our fields allow you to identify the following: data owner, data source; country of stamp; location associated in the stamp; currency of stamp; subject matter, date of stamp, there are extra people related fields if it is a first day cover.  There are fields to state if the stamp is for sale or not and fields to record where the stamp is stored. What’s planned for more fields?  DC will create a field to capture the state of the stamp (mint, used etc) but need Founder Members to help us define their requirements.

DC will implement AI to help Members sort their digitised stamps into digital sets and identify which other members have similar sets and collections…and so much more.  We see API allowing DC to scrape information from the internet to help Members.  Information related to the valuation of stamps and the locations of stamps that Members are seeking.

Come and join the records revolution!

What is a Collection?  See this short video for an overview from Mark.

A DigiClerk Collection is a group of records based around a certain thing or item.  The current collections are based on people, stamps and yachting but there will be more coming.  We are already being asked about Coins, Maps and Postcards. Also, DigiClerk Members can create a collection of their own that may cross all the other main collections.

Collections:

People  has a person as the centre of every record in the collection.  Currently the life events captured are birth, marriage, death, burial and graveside.  We also have ‘archive’ as a bit of a catch all event, for the moment.

Stamp is based around postage stamps allowing stamp collectors to digitise, upload and share their collections with a global audience.  Physical stamp collections rarely get seen by anyone other than the owner.  Click here for a video showing you what you can explore right now.

Yachting is based on all things related to leisure maritime but starting with a focus on sailing and powerboats because that was what started the collection.
