The Society has been operational for over 100 years and is open to members within Northern Ireland. There is no mail bulletin, however the Society operates a website at www.ni-ps.eu (June 2014)
The North of Ireland Philatelic Society was founded in the autumn of 1907, just 67 years after the introduction of the postage stamp. King Edward VII, Queen Victoria’s eldest son, was on the throne and Theodore “Teddy” Roosevelt was President of the USA. For any society to have not only survived but flourished over the next century is no mean achievement. The last 100 years have been a period of monumental change. They have witnessed such developments as the sinking of the Titanic, the partition of Ireland, two World Wars, the formation of the welfare state, television, the Beatles, the assassination of JF Kennedy, the Northern Ireland Troubles, the moon landings, the internet, and 9/11.
