An introduction to the postal history of the area

This link will take you to pages which describe the stamps and postal history of The Gambia. The introduction was prepared by WASC member Oliver Andrew.

Documents relevant to the area

In the 1950s and 1960s, Study Editors compiled documents on various aspects of WASC philately for circulation amongst interested members. In some cases the information therein was published in Cameo, or incorporated into books. However, not all such is already in the public domain, and we have added links below from which you can view and download copies of monographs relating to the Gambia.
