The Baltimore Philatelic Society was founded in 1889. In 1961 the Society purchased a building in downtown Baltimore. Several years ago the Board of Governors decided to name the building The Horace W. Harrison Philatelic Center. A history of the Society has been written by philatelic historian, Herbert A. Trenchard.
The building is open on Tuesday and Saturday (9:00 a.m to 3:30 p.m. and Wednesday from 3:00 p.m. to 9:00 p.m. Meetings are held weekly on Wednesday evenings. All are welcome.
Each year we sponsor a "WSP" show known as BALPEX. The show is held on Labor Day Weekend at the Marriott Hunt Valley Inn. The dates for the next BALPEX will be September 4-6, 2009. More information can be found under the "BALPEX" menu.
