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
