Welcome to People of Ar

About Us
Armenians are also called People of Ar (Ar being most used root word for Sun, Creator, etc. in the Armenian Language). The Armenian Highland is where Armenians lived from the Creation. My goal is to introduce the history, culture, beliefs of Armenians through my stamps and my philatelic publications. In future a page will be added to introduce exhibits and publications by my fellow stamp collectors.
Philately
Stamp collecting has today become one of the most popular hobbies in the world... It truly is correctly called The King of Hobbies. Stamp collecting gives not only enjoyment but also it increases our knowledge.
Philatelic Publications
It is not enough to collect stamps. Writing about a stamp or a philatelic topic means sharing your knowledge with your piers and educate them in general.
what to expect
Exhibits
Exhibiting at stamp shows is part of organized philately. Simply put, exhibiting is "show & tell". You are telling a story using stamps and philatelic items which must be clear and concise. There are strict guidelines for judges and exhibitors at the national and international level stamp shows in order to obtain the highest possible medal award.
Philatelic Articles
Another way to get pleasure from stamp collecting is to share your knowledge and enthusiasm with others by writing about what you collect. Writing is not difficult if you can get over the false notion: "I am not a writer."
Writing about the hobby means spreading the joy of stamp collecting!
