Ukrainian Philatelic and Numismatic Society

After 17 years as the name behind the UPNS newsletter Trident-Visnyk, our esteemed editor Lubomyr Onyshkevych has decided to hang up his pen. Editing and assembling 10 issues a year is not an easy job and we thank Lubomyr for his dedication in making the TV a successful publication. We will fondly remember him offering up his colorful editorials, latest philatelic news from Ukraine, new stamp issues, cancels, postcards, coins and other interesting Ukrainian collectibles.   And so the reins have now passed on to our new newbie editor Stepan Moskal who will need much support and encouragement from all of us. Stepan, an avid collector of modern Ukraine, is not new to the challenges of publishing having produced a Ukraine stamp album a few years back. We look forward to his first issue of the Trident-Visnyk as he gives the newsletter a much needed facelift.

We also encourage all past and new contributors to continue their submissions of latest club news, show schedules, letters to the editor, philatelic events, photos, personalized picture postage, cachets, coins, Ukrainian themes on other countries, and reviews of Ukrainian philatelic and numismatic books/publications. We will publish all the Ukrainian philatelic and numismatic news that is fit to print.
