Supplemental Narrative

Financial Statement Notes

Part III, Line A

The museum's stamp collection, which was acquired entirely by contributions since the museum's inception, is not recognized as an asset on the museum's books, as the trustees have exercise their option not to capitalize the collection.

Part III, Line 4

The museum's collection is on the of the largest, privately created philatelic collections in the world and one of two public museums in the united states devoted to stamps and postal history. The museum is open to the public and the museum's mission is to promote knowledge and understanding of worldwide history and geography through the study of stamps, letters, and other artifacts of people's communication through mail. This educational mission is advanced through exhibitions, a resource center and library, and programs for children, families and adults.
