Help › Catalog Contribution Guidelines : Stamps
Thank you for wanting to help. These guidelines allow us to easily add collectible item information to our catalog. Please read carefully. It's advised that on your first contribution you would send your work with a few items to ensure you have followed the guidelines.
The preferred way of contributing new items to the catalogs is by using NIFiller which is an online NIF generator and manager.
New contributor? Fill out the Contributor Application. Your application will be reviewed by a coordinator and you will be contacted with further details.
Before You Begin
Please contact our database coordinator: DJCMH about your intended update and the date on which you assume you will finish it. Prevent a state where more than one contributor does the same work.
First Step
"New Items Form (NIF)" is a spreadsheet file. Always check you are using the latest NIF version. Download: Stamps
When filled out the spreadsheet file can be uploaded to NIFiller.
Filling the Information
Please fill as much information as possible about every item. Try to include all the items available in the relevant series, country or catalog. Be sure to use standard English alphabet only.
The NIF contains detailed explanations about what information should be written in it. Follow these explanations carefully.
Please carefully read this special wiki page: Stamp Catalog Contribution Guidelines.You can find more details about category's information fields on the Wiki.
