Site Map to Navigate

You are at a site dedicated to the study and sharing of information about the stamps and postal history of Hawaii in the years before it became a territory of the United States on June 14, 1900.

This site is intended to operate in the nature of a study group. Use of the site for commercial purposes is inconsistent with the collaborative research purpose of this site. You are welcome to share information, questions, discoveries and perplexities. Please sign in the Guestbook to register your interest. Post Office in Paradise is unaffiliated with the United States Postal Service and is not sponsored by the USPS or the postal service of any other country.

For a list of some societies and clubs a collector of Hawaiian stamps and postal history should consider joining, please go to Societies and Clubs. For a general bibliography of important treatises and auction catalogues frequently referenced in this site, please go to General Bibliography.

Pages are being updated constantly as newer information becomes available. Before using any page you may have offloaded, be certain you have the latest version by comparing its date with the current update shown on the website page. Significant changes will be sent by e-mail alert to those who have signed the Guestbook and left an e-mail address.
