Popular, interesting and new

• The Mining Certificates of the British South Africa Company – Christopher Cooksey (Updated August, 2026)
• (Revised) Postal Establishments of Zimbabwe 1980-2025. In January 2026, thanks to the combined efforts of several RSC members, a list of Zimbabwe postal establishments was shared on the website. Members of the RSC have provided feedback, and we can now propose a first revision (March, 2026) of the 1980-2025 checklist; amendments will continue to be made as and when new information becomes available.
• We have created a new section on our website where we will place selected presentations from RSC Virtual and other Meetings including the Conference which we believe are important resources for collectors now and in the future. They may be cross referenced with other pages on the website. Included in these are some presentations from the 2025 RSC Conference. 

We are redeveloping the pages on this website concerned with the iconic Double Head Issue and have added sections on:

• The 1d Rhodesia Double Head 
• Plating & Positioning of the 1d Double Head (Updated August, 2023
