Since the last incarnation of
the MoldovaStamps project in
October 2012, the support for
and visitors to this site has
grown hugely. We are now one of
the leading philatelic web sites
in the world. At the last check,
we were number 2 in Europe and
number 18 in the world. We have
had visitors from more than 160
countries and messages of
support from people and places I
never would have guessed.
From the very beginning of
the MoldovaStamps project, I had
a long-term intention to develop
the philatelic catalogue and
news service into a
true, international philatelic
society, not limited by
geography, language or
philatelic experience. I believe
that now is the time to launch
this society.
The primary objective of the
International Moldovan
Philatelic Society (IMPS) is to
increase awareness of the
history and culture of Moldova,
on a worldwide basis, through
the medium of philately.
But we plan to take a much
more fresh and modern approach
than the "classic" philatelic
organisations, who typically
only accept new members by
invitation only and based on
extensive knowledge of
philately, and with their
interminable rules and committee
meetings.
Instead, IMPS is based on
friendship, openness and
equality. All of our activities
are completely visible and
members decide on all the
important matters. We send an
open invitation to everyone
in the world to join us,
regardless of your knowledge,
location, nationality or
language.

We use Facebook, not only to
spread the word about IMPS and
it's objectives, but to give our
members a forum for open debate
and discussions, and to
encourage connections between
our members.
IMPS is a totally non-profit
organisation. Membership is
FREE, forever, and we do not
sell anything. There is no
online store! IMPS is a totally
non-political organisation. We
are self-funded and we receive
no financial contributions from
any political or governmental
entity.
We have ambitious plans for
the future. Already we are
offering a wide range of
benefits for our members and
we are actively engaged in a
world-wide campaign of
attendance at philatelic
exhibitions, having already won
medals in Italy, the USA, Brazil
and Belarus.
We welcome you all to IMPS
and invite you to join us in our
quest, to spread the word about
Moldova and her beautiful
stamps.
