The Allan Steinhart Memorial Exhibit Project
|
Allan Steinhart died unexpectedly in 1996. To honour the memory of the foremost postal
historian of his time, we present here a collection of postal history exhibits. We intend
to build this collection over time, adding both old and new exhibits of all types. The full exhibits
are available to logged-in PHSC members, typically both via a jpeg viewer and by multipage pdfs.

This was the most significant development in communications for this large region of Canada.
