CONSERVATION AND RESEARCH

The Royal Philatelic Collection is looked after by a staff of experts at St. James's Palace in London. Heading up the team is Michael Sefi, Keeper of the Royal Philatelic Collection since 2003.

They are responsible for ensuring that the Collection remains in the best possible condition. It is held in high-security, carefully-regulated conditions in its albums and boxes, with unmounted material in chemical-free packets.

The team also assists visiting researchers, answers written queries, deals with additions to the Collection, and arranges loans to stamp exhibitions.

Bona fide researchers are welcome within the limits of the team's resources, but the Collection is not on general public view.
