Recent Updates
In December, 2015, the Rhodesian Study Circle undertook the task to re-invent itself for the 21st Century collector through various social media platforms such as Facebook, Twitter and a modernised website.
With thousands of images and over 3,100 pages of philatelic items, we are combining philately with the colourful history of Central Africa to help support you in building your collections.
