Philately (/fɪˈlætəli/; fih-LAT-ə-lee) is the study of postage stamps and postal history. It also refers to the collection and appreciation of stamps and other philatelic products.[1] While closely associated with stamp collecting and the study of postage, it is possible to be a philatelist without owning any stamps.[2] For instance, the stamps being studied may be very rare or reside only in museums.
