Hugh Jefferies MBE has been a collector for nearly 65 years and the editor of the Stanley Gibbons Catalogue since 2003. In this talk, he traces the development of the catalogue since its first edition in 1865 and explains how it has adapted to meet the changing needs of collectors and the challenges of new technology and the issuing policies of the world’s postal administrations.
He discusses the work which goes into each new volume and invites everyone to contribute to future editions to ensure that it remains the best guide to our hobby available.
