About the Society

Founded in 1946 by Edward H. Spiro, the Society is a national organisation that exists for the benefit of people interested in collecting the stamps and postal history of Switzerland, and furthering the interests of Swiss philately in general.

The Helvetia Philatelic Society celebrated its Diamond Jubilee in 2006. Its worldwide membership includes two who have signed the Roll of Distinguished Philatelists, as well as Fellows and members of The Royal Philatelic Society, London. These members, together with many others, are always prepared to respond to any queries.
