Stamping our history: The story of Canadian business as portrayed by postage stamps

Canadian Journal of Administrative Sciences | December 1, 2000| | Copyright

Abstract

This paper reviews Canadian postage stamps issued for the past 100 years to identify business-related subjects and to ascertain how business history has been reflected. For the first half of the period studied, staples produced from agriculture and natural resources dominated stamp issues. During the second half of the period, stamp issues reflected more diversified Canadian business activity. The paper also describes the business implications of philately and presents observations regarding past and future business-related stamp issues.
