There are a number of benefits available to the members of The Society for Czechoslovak Philately. Some of them are:

*Receive our award-winning journal, The Czechoslovak Specialist.
NOTE: Online members receive access to the electronic version (downloadable pdf) only.

*May purchase publications, catalogs, and other philatelic books covering our various fields of interest at reasonable prices with a membership discount. Most of these are available in the United States only through the Society.

*Have access to the Society Library, which is probably the best collection on Czechoslovak philately outside the Czech Republic and Slovakia. Library use is available for only the cost of postage.

*May use our Expert Committee which has only minimal charges for services.

*Have the opportunity to attend the Society’s annual meeting, which is held in conjunction with a major national show, and to exhibit and compete for Society awards.

*Members may apply for the Verner Majer Exhibiting Program. Click here for more information.

*Have access to many collectors who share their interests and passions. Members are always willing to assist each other in solving philatelic questions.

*Participate in an electronic sales circuit where they can sell and buy materials from other members.

*Receive an electronic newsletter.

In addition to regular membership, the Society also has Youth, Patron, and Honorary membership categories. Youth memberships are available to young collectors (to age 18) for the nominal fee. Patron members support the Society at a higher dues level and receive a bound copy of The Czechoslovak Specialist in addition to regular membership privileges. Honorary memberships are awarded for outstanding contributions to the Society and for the furtherance of Czechoslovak philately.

Memberships expires on 31 December each year.  People who join before the 1st of November each year are listed as “this year” members and receive the Specialists for the year.  Any new member who joins after the 1st of November is listed as a new member as of the 1st of January of the following year.
