About Our Study Group
PPSC was formed by a group of philatelists who share a common interest in Peruvian stamps.
Some of us met virtually on the Internet first, in places like eBay. Others met through
philatelic societies like Asociacion Filatelica Peruana and American Philatelic Society,
while others were members of the Peru Study Circle of the 1980s. In a way PPSC is a newer
version of that with the addition of a powerful tool, the Internet.
Many of our members are experienced philatelists, international exhibitors, philatelic jurors,
board members in other philatelic organizations, published authors, as well as beginners and
intermediate collectors. Our goal is simple, to promote Peruvian philately contributing to
the sharing of information among all our members.
Our first in-person meeting was at Washington 2006, members from Peru, Chile, Holland, and
USA assisted to the official kick-off of the group. In 2007 we met twice, in August at APS
Stampshow in Portland, Oregon, and in December at Peru-Spain show in Lima, Peru. We
plan to continue with a once a year in-person meetings at some major philatelic events, plus
our continue communications from our Yahoo group. After all, the Internet made us all just
a few keystrokes away from each other.
If you are into Peruvian stamps & postal history, this is the Internet group you were looking for.

| About our Logo By replacing just 2 letters to fit our acronym, P.P.S.C. The 1 Real blue of the Pacific Steam Navigation Company, the first stamp used in Peru, was the obvious selection for our logo. |
