The NZSDA has a website at www.nzsda.com which contains up-to-date information about dealers and the association. Details of stamp fairs and shows where NZSDA dealers will be present are also available on that site.

The NZSDA and its members are a critical element of the philatelic fraternity and Federation is pleased to be associated with them and with the third member of that fraternity, NZ Post, in a number of initiatives described elsewhere on this site, in particular:

• the NZ National Philatelic Trust which involves all three; and
• the Support Agreement for NZ National Philatelic Exhibitions between the NZSDA and NZPF.

Members of the NZSDA have agreed to abide by the Code of Ethics detailed below.
