The Mentor List
Maintained byMark Dyck, Mentor Co-ordinator
If this is the first time you have visited the Mentor List, please read the Introductory Page
The Stamporama Mentor List is divided into three parts; each contains contact information for specific mentors:
Part One: General collecting information
Part Two: Regional and country collecting
Part Three: Thematic and topical collecting; Specialties
If you have a question to ask, be as specific as possible, giving thorough descriptions as well as catalogue numbers, if possible. It is often helpful to include scanned images of the item or items you are asking about.
Stamporama members are encouraged to ask their philatelic questions in the new “Mentoring Forum” on the Stamporama Discussion Board, accessed through the Stamporama home page.

Please contact Mark Dyck if you come across any "dead" addresses, or if mentors fail to respond to questions.
Stamporama is always looking for new mentors. You don't have to be an expert — just willing to share what you know, and it's a sure thing that you do know something that some other collector does not know. If you feel that you have something to offer, please e-mail Mark Dyck.
