The American Topical Association's 62nd Annual National Topical Stamp Show will be held this weekend, June 24 - 26, 2011. The show will be held at the Sheraton Milwaukee Brookfield Hotel, in Brookfield, Wisconsin (just outside Milwaukee).

Topical or thematic stamp collectors choose the items in their collections based on the images or subjects of the collected stamps. They organize their collections according to themes or topics rather than by country.

The American Topical Association is a nonprofit organization established to support topical stamp collectors and answer questions about topical stamp collecting. Organized in 1949, the ATA has over 60 years of service to its members and serves members in 60 countries. It is the largest philatelic society devoted to topical stamp collecting.

For additional information on the National Topical Stamp Show or topical stamp collecting, contact the ATA Central Office at (618) 985-5100 or americantopical@msn.com.
