Collecting History – Exhibition and Fair – 18 April 2026
Saturday 18 April 2026 saw our annual Collecting History Exhibition in the Granary at Founders Park in Nelson.
This year we shared our 50 plus frames of philatelic material with Phil Trowbridge’s display of diecast model cars, the Nelson Historical Society’s display showing the history of the Italian community in Nelson, the Waimea South Historical Society’s display featuring the Wakefield post Office, The Genealogy Society of New Zealand Nelson Branch giving access to information for those seeking to explore their family history, and Jeff and Jenny Long, Josh Black and John Glaysier with their philatelic sales tables.
A move from our normal October timing to coincide with TUKU 26 WHAKATU a celebration of stories, people and places unique to Nelson helped us share promotional opportunities and this along with our advertising and stories in local media helped attract good numbers in less than pleasant weather.
