Stamps of Papua and New Guinea This is a work in progress. I am collecting the stamps of Papua and New Guinea. The information I need is scattered through a number of reference books, and it got irritating to flick through the different books, so I decided to collect the information into one source to help me with the collection. And then I decided to add scans of the stamps to these pages so it's like my virtual stamp collection.
