I'm new to this group so please accept my apologies if this is a regularly
asked question !
asked question !
A colleague of mine has a fairly extensive stamp collection ( British
commemoratives and definitives )
He believes he once saw some software which could keep a record of a
collection and provide a value for each set of stamps and the collection as
a whole. This is presumably some sort of spreadsheet type package which
can be updated as the value of the stamps change. He thinks the stamps
could also be sorted and organised into various groups etc.
Anybody know of any software ( Mac or PC ) along these lines, either
commercially available or somewhere on the net ?
Your help would be much appreciated,
Thanks in advance, please e-mail replies to :
Iain Harrison, Lancashire, England.

The British Philatelic Bureau may have just what you are looking for, in
both a PC and a Mac version. It is called StampMaster GB, ver. 2.0 or
StampMaster GB Mac, ver. 1.0, and is available from either the British
Philatelic Bureau in Edinburg (assume you have their address at hand) or
from the originators of the program, Philatelic Software Ltd., Valley
View, Coleman's Lane, Nazeing, Essex EN9 2EA. Voice phone is 44 992 89
3086 (before the initial part of your phone numbers were "adjusted"). Fax
number is the same except last four digits are 2729. Not known if they
have an e-mail address.
Only problem with this program may be the price - L49.95. (about
US$75.00)
The database is based on the National Postal Museum's Chronolist numbering
system (SG refused to give them permission to use their catalog numbers -
as bad as Scott is here), and provides for a wide variety of sorts,
searches, and valuations and printed reports.
They also have some additional products for the "North Atlantic" (Iceland,
Greenland and Faroes) and one that can be used for other countries or
thematics (no catalog numbers, of course in those.)
There are also some shareware programs from US sources that cover GB, but
if they have catalog numbers, they would be Scott catalog - not of much
use in the UK.
Hope this information is of use to you and your friend.
