General Information AboutThe U S Cancellation Club |
|
The U S Cancellation Club (USCC) was organized in 1938. It is the leading philatelic society devoted to the study and publication of information on obliterators used on 19th century United States stamps. The USCC is APS Afflicate #75.
We are an eclectic group. Although most of the members reside in the United States we do have several members who live abroad. Our levels of knowledge and expertise range from the novice collector to noted authors and postal historians. We come from all walks of life, from students to teachers and doctors and engineers and those that have retired.
Because we are such a diverse group geographically, we do not have any one place that we call our headquarters. We stay in touch with each other and exchange information through the Club's quarterly publication, the USCC NEWS, which is included with membership.
An annual meeting allows for old friendships to be renewed, for cancellations to be discussed and for Club business to be conducted. During these meetings, held in conjunction with a major US stamp show, members often have informal gatherings and discussion groups. Likewise, on a more formal basis, members also conduct seminars and tutorials on their collecting specialties.
The USCC maintains a lending library of material for use by its members. The library contains books, journals auctions catalogs and back issues of the NEWS which may be borrowed for a nominal fee.
If you have an interest in the study of United States postal history and, in particular, the various obliterators found on 19th century United States stamps, then you should consider joining the USCC.
