The F. Burton Sellers Collection

 
The Haiti Philatelic Society offers collectors an opportunity to obtain a DVD containing scans of the comprehensive 64 volumes of the F. Burton Sellers'  internationally award winning Haiti collection.  The production is through the effort of the Society's current President, Peter C. Jeannopoulous.
 
The DVD contains almost 3,000 pages of the Sellers' collection.  It does not include the Liberty Heads since this portion of his collection was sold years ago at auction.  The postage stamp portion of the collection stops in 1969.
 
Files are available for download that will illustrate the quality of the photo/scans and the wealth of information that you will find throughout the 64 volumes.  Those links follow the content listing below.   This DVD is undoubtedly a beautiful and valuable record of a magnificent collection.
