Open Philately seeks to broaden the range of exhibiting and to allow Philatelists to display philatelic material as well as non-Philatelic material from other collecting fields in order to develop an understanding of the subject chosen.
Open Philately provides an opportunity to present the range of research undertaken by showing both philatelic and non-philatelic material in its cultural, social, industrial, commercial, or other context and to show wider and deeper knowledge of the subject.
By allowing an extended range of both philatelic and non-philatelic material, Open Philately has the further objective of bringing new collectors to the skill and enjoyment of exhibiting and demonstrating its attractiveness as a hobby.
