Wanted: Images Of French Stamps 1940 To Present

I am working on a new public online database of the stamps of France. I am seeking high resolution images of any French stamps 1940 to present.

If anyone already has these and is willing to assist in this project please contact me.

Database is already built and populated with images of the earlier stamps, I just need images of the post 1940 stamps.

There is this link that has good pics..by years(Années)

Don, I have many on Steiner pages scanned at around 1100 x 1550 through around 1970. (mostly used)

Not sure if that would be high enough resolution for you or not but if it is, let me know

Here's a sample

I think you may be reinventing wheels - perhaps a link to this site would suffice

Hi Mike,
Could you email a some of your images, I think I can work with them.
Don

GeoffHa,
I understand that there are other French sites. This is what I have so far...


This is the search By Scott number screen. The search by Yvert number and Michel number look the same. I thought that this might be a useful tool for folks who use Scott catalogs; hobbyists can quickly work with other catalog numbers when working with online listings and posts. I am not aware of any other online resource that has this capability (but perhaps I am wrong?).

Additionally this is another Stamp Smarter community effort; hobbyists can become participating members with and add/edit to the database and export it their own computers for personal use if desired.

I think these attributes makes this project fairly unique.

OK. I can send you scans of post-1940 Yvert pages, pretty much complete, virtually all mint, if that would help. Let me know. Suggest you add SG numbers too.

Geoff

Hi GeoffHa
Yes, I have SG number in the database but have not yet gotten it fully populated so I have left it out of the webpages for now. Would love to get the images you mention. I will sent you my email address.
Thank you!
Don

Hi Don

Take a look at StampWorld:
https://www.stampworld.com/en_US/stamps/France/

Starting at 1940:
https://www.stampworld.com/en_US/st...ps/1940-1949

I needed some images for Colombia and found them at the site. I e-mailed StampWorld asking for permission to use the images. They gave permission as long as I added a reference to their site. Just tell them why you need the images. It took a day or two to get a response.

Hi Jerry,
Thank you for the suggestions. I do not like Stampworld's terms and conditions; in my opinion they are harvesting emails and images. As you found out, they believe they own any images that are uploaded to them. (They couldn't allow others to use the images if they thought the uploader retained rights.) And if any legal action was required, I am not up for going to Belize to settle it.

From their T&Cs

I am not sure I understand some of the T&C wording; it appears that English is not the first language of the writer.

As such I have never signed up for an account and steer clear of using the site. But thank you for the suggestion.

Hi Don

I did not have a problem with them using my e-mail address. The Yahoo e-mail allows one to create dummy addresses. I created one for StampWorld and after a couple of months I deleted it. It is really a neat feature of the e-mail system, which, fortunately, AT&T left in place.

I would like to help out as I once collected France (collection sold to finance my Colombia startup). I am not sure what I can do. I don't have office, so no EXCEL only WORD, and my computer is ailing (I am doing this in Safe Mode). However, if I can help with something let me know.

I really like that Studebaker! I think I mentioned it once before. My friend had a 60's mustang that he sold to a gentleman in Florida. The gentleman restored the car. The sad note is that, in a storm, a big tree fell on the car and totaled it.

Don ---Do you want them in complete sets or separate ,do you want white or black background . Do you take a group of stamps mounted on black stock pages . Give some directions of what you prefer .

Hi Jerry,
Thanks. I hate hearing stories of cars that are lost. It is a bit like when a rare stamp multiple is cut up.

Floortrader,
Prefer white background but other colors acceptable. Sets or singles ok. Multiple stamps per page is ok. Any file format is ok.
Don

I don't have anything scanned, but I can make scans of anything you might think is useful. I will email you.

Don.
you have been inundated with response, however if you get stuck on any issues, I can scan individuals.

I can also offer higher def scans of pages seen here

But they will still shall be behind mount plastic.

Good luck with your venture.
