817 ogOc   "Burma/Myanmar 1982-1996, Few Themes, Much Improvisation" five frame award-winning exhibition collection, this collection can probably be best described by quoting the title page written in 1996: "The Reason - The country has a population of 45 million, literacy rate of 80% and a postal system with over 600 post offices...The same definitive designs have been in use since 1974...Political and economic changes have produced a great deal of improvisation, much of it in postal stationery. The Challenge - There is no philatelic bureau and stamp clubs have been prohibited since 1966. The government, one of the world's most repressive dictatorships since 1962, treats most information as state secrets and forbids Burmese to publish anything without prior state approval. The post office archives are a shambles and the post office has almost no awareness of philately. Over the years collectors in Burma have generously supplied the exhibitor with material and information, which has been supplemented by surreptitious research while in the country" The collection contains mint and used stamps and many covers and postal stationary items and covers The Socialist Republic of the Union of Burma, Union of Burma and Union of Myanmar and shows rate changes and postal improvisation, postal practices and related markings and fantasy and Cinderella issues, the value is not so much in any particular item, but in the difficulty of acquisition, research and work involved in mounting a writing it up, a couple items have been removed, otherwise it is intact as shown.

819 c   "The Burma One Anna Stamped Envelope - Eight postal administrations and two decades of political turmoil" gold medal winning one frame exhibition collection, quoting from the title page: "Postal stationery survives a humid climate better than stamps do.
