Шаблон:Infobox organization The Israel Philatelic Federation is an association whose purpose is to nurture and promote philately in Israel.

Introduction

The Israel Philatelic Federation, which later became affiliated with the Fédération Internationale de Philatélie (FIP), was established in Tel Aviv, Israel on 11 April 1945. This came after the national philatelic exhibition "Fila 1945," organized by the Tel Aviv Philately Association. The federation collaborates closely with the Philatelic Service and receives support from the Israel Postal Company (formerly the Israel Postal Authority).

History

The Israel Philatelic Federation established its initial location in 1959 in Jerusalem. In June 1960 a Ghana exhibition was opened.[1] The museum continued to operate until 1963 in its original location.[2] In the early 1960s, the Israel Museum received a donation of a stamp collection from the estate of Mr. Spillman. The stamps were intended for display at the Museum of Science and Technology.[3] In July 1983, an agreement was signed between the Ministry of Communications and the Tel Aviv municipality to establish the Museum of Postal History within the museum, named after Jacob Agam's wife.[4] In September 1983, a cornerstone was laid for the museum.[5] Funding for the construction of the museum faced difficulties, and in September 1989, a ceremony was held to sign an agreement for funding the building.[6] Even this step was not sufficient, and in 1991, the Philatelic Service issued a special souvenir sheet, with all proceeds from its sale dedicated to completing the museum's construction.[7]

Opened on May 19, 1998 as part of the State of Israel's 50th Jubilee celebrations,[8] the Alexander Pavilion of Postal History and Philately is a permanent exhibition in the Eretz Israel Museum in Ramat Aviv.[9]
