In addition and expanding on the above, Philas House has, over the years, been the fortunate recipient of a number of collections donated by members or their families and Philas has also purchased some significant collections itself from Auction offerings.
In the Philas Collections link there is a list of collections that may be available for borrowing by Clubs for their meetings or where collections and resources may be too valuable, they may be viewed under supervision at Philas House.
It is well worth while checking these resources and collections both for possible display at Club Meetings or as a reference resources for individual collectors.
