Tannu Tuva Collectors Society Library
This special collection comprises books, articles, maps, and pamphlets about the people, stamps and postal history of remote and fascinating Tannu Tuva (or simply Tuva, as it is known now). The collection includes works in English, Chinese and Tuvan. For more information, access the Tannu Tuva Collection Index.
The Western Philatelic Library separately houses, conserves and administers these libraries for the benefit of the organizations named. If your organization is running out of space and/or volunteers to manage your society's library, contact us for a proposal. There is a small initial charge to cover our conservation costs, but the adminstration of the library is done at no additional cost to the Society.
Donations of private libraries are also encouraged. Special bookplates are printed and affixed to each volume so that the donor's gift is recognized for as long as the volume exists. Donations to our bindery fund are honored in the same manner. Call, write or email the library to arrange.
