Since December, 2015, the Rhodesian Study Circle has transitioned itself from an established philatelic society to one catered for the 21st Century collector. With thousands of images and nearly 4,000 pages of philatelic items, we are combining philately with the colourful history of Central Africa to help support you in building your collections.
