Wineburgh Philatelic Research Library
The Wineburgh Philatelic Research Library was founded to provide collectors access to a dynamic, collection of books, journals, and catalogs. Collectors have been using this resource for two decades in pursuit of their philatelic interests. Founded in 1976 by the late Harold Wineburgh, the library was envisioned as a means of promoting not only philatelic research but also of inspiring a love of learning through philately. Since then the WPRL has grown into one of the finest philatelic libraries in the country with thousands of books and periodical volumes. Over 100 subscriptions to current philatelic journals are maintained with hundreds of older journal titles. In addition the library maintains a collection of important auction catalogs and a growing selection of post office publications and reports.
