Magnify: Articles from newsletter of the Royal Philatelic Society of Rhodesia – later Zimbabwe

Formed in 1910, the Philatelic Society of Rhodesia was a Founder Member of the Philatelic Society of South Africa. On the 12th November, 1962 it was granted the title of ‘Royal’ by Her Majesty Queen Elizabeth II and became the Royal Philatelic Society of Rhodesia.

The society newsletter, Magnify, came into being in 1970 as a monthly newsletter. It later became bi-montly and then quarterly.

Geoff Brakspear has recently copied a number of articles that may be of interest to RSC members:

Luanshya: A Tale of Copper Mining, Labour Relations, People and Politics

Rhodesian Study Circle

Memoir 36 – Luanshya: A Tale of Copper Mining, Labour Relations, People and Politics

Details

Memoir 36 traces the history of the Luanshya community from pre-colonial days to the present. The Luanshya saga is based on archives housed in Zambia’s National archives and the philatelic collections of several members of the RSC. A number of 1950-60s photographs of men at work at Roan Antelope were taken by I.R. ‘Bob’ Menzies, who was the Personnel Manager of the mine for over a decade. This RSC publication also features case studies describing the challenges of everyday urban life in post-independence Zambia.
