The Rochester Philatelic Association (RPA) was formed by 13 interested stamp collectors in 1913 as a way to share their common interest in philately. Current membership has grown to nearly 140, with members residing in nine states and Canada. We're one of America's most active (and we believe friendliest!) stamp clubs. Read all about us and what we can offer you!

Whether you're a beginner or specialist, the RPA offers you many services and benefits. Our bimonthly newsletter, "Hinges & Tongs," is filled with articles about collecting in general and informs members about upcoming meetings and events. The club's philatelic library holds several hundred books, magazines and periodicals, including the most recent worldwide catalogs. These may be borrowed without cost by RPA members.

For those in the upstate New York area, we invite you to attend RPA meetings in person. We meet on the second and fourth Thursday of most months between September and June. Our headquarters is at St. Paul's Episcopal Church Parish Hall, on the corner of East Avenue and Vick Park B, across from the George Eastman House. A buy/sell/trade hour runs from 7-7:45 PM, followed by the formal meeting at 7:45 PM. A silent auction concludes most evening's program.
