Free topical collecting course available

The American Topical Association (ATA) is the largest philatelic organization in the world devoted to collecting stamps by subject matter rather than country. It has a free on-line course for those interested in learning more about thematic/topical collecting.

Established in 1949, the ATA currently serves members in over 90 countries. ATA publishes Topical Time, its monthly magazine and offers a variety of slide/DVD programs on different topics, as well as checklists of philatelic material organized by topics.
