The Northeastern Federation provides a forum for the dissemination of philatelic information of importance to the New England area. We do this by providing a centralized list of stamp clubs and exhibitions. We also stage Philatelic Show every spring and support a youth program. Club application here. Bylaws listed here.

Philatelic Show is the largest annual show in the northeastern USA and is part of the World Series of Philately, as defined by the American Philatelic Society. Philatelic Show 2020 will take place on May 1 to 3, 2020 at the Boxborough Regency in Boxborough, MA and welcomes the American Helvetia Philatelic Society.

On February 12, 2015 the Board of Directors of the American Philatelic Society awarded the Twelfth International Philatelic Exhibition of the United States, to be held in 2026, to Boston. This was the culmination of four years of work by the Northeastern Federation of Stamp Clubs. For more information read the Linn's Stamp News article here.
