MaltaPost is pleased to announce the launch, on Monday 13 February 2012, of a new website, www.maltaphilately.com, which will be completely dedicated to Malta stamps.

The site will cater primarily for local and international philatelists and collectors of Malta stamps and related products. However, it will also be of interest to anyone wanting to know more about Malta's history as commemorated through stamps and see the works of some of Malta's famous artists of the 20th century replicated as there will be an online catalogue with images of all stamps issued in Malta since 1860. The catalogue includes the technical details of all the stamps and can be easily searched by a variety of criteria.

The site will be updated with philatelic news and updates on forthcoming issues as well as enable subscribers to manage their philatelic account.

The website will also host an online shop with all stamp sets and related philatelic items issued from 2002 onwards.

The website is of a simple and clear design which allows visitors to navigate easily and find what they are looking for. This investment by MaltaPost will bring the world of Malta stamps to a wider audience, both locally and internationally.

Further information is available from the MaltaPost Philatelic Bureau on (+356) 2596 1740 or by email at info@maltaphilately.com
