Member Papers

The aim of the Hong Kong Study Circle is to record and circulate information on the philatelic and postal history of Hong Kong and the Treaty Ports. Our main tool remains the Journal which we publish quarterly and distribute to our members. The Internet now affords us a means of circulating information to a wider audience. We will occasionally publish, on our website, papers that we think are of interest to a broad range of postal historians and others. The aim being to encourage contributions of information from beyond our membership and to make more people aware of the interests of our members.


NOTE: Most of the papers require the latest version of the Adobe reader.

In Hong Kong, during the First World War, they were also used to reseal letters that were opened by censors, before the introduction of a specific resealing strip in the early part of 1915.
