How it works ?

All pages have an integrated Google-Translate toolbar, on the top of the page which allows you to read it in your language.

Note: The Chronology Catalog was designed first. Later, the Country Catalog was added. During the work on the country-based pages, additional stamps were discovered, mostly from the “Other stamps to consider” themes. Both catalogs are routinely updated at present.

For convenience and easy navigation, the Catalog has Frame and Flat Interfaces.
