Stamp collecting has been a popular hobby
throughout the world since stamps were first
produced.
So collecting postage stamps is not merely an
instinctive modern day activity. Indeed, it has
become
a sophisticated past-time for the dedicated
collector and it provides a living to many
dealers. Accordingly, what began as a mere hobby
has now attained significant importance in this
advanced age. And the humble postage stamp is no
longer humble |

Of course, stamps provide a vivid reflection of history
through the ages; at the time of issue virtually every
stamp had clear historical significance. And every stamp
allows an insight into the political, social, economic
or technological events for the country that issued it.
So stamps provide a unique record of a country's
development, a fact that makes their availability to
future generations of ever more importance |

The albums we are issuing now contain graphics of all
the stamps issued from the beginning of the Postal
Service in the State of Qatar in 1950 to the present
time. Updated albums will be issued when required to
ensure there is a permanent record of all the stamps
ever issued by the State of Qatar, and by which future
generations, as yet unborn citizens can look back with
pride at their country's history recorded in stamps |

We hope also that others will be encouraged to collect
these albums and will enjoy them as they are meant to be
enjoyed |
