History

When was the Union discontinued? There is no information about that in the article. --Michael Romanov (talk) 02:27, 27 May 2010 (UTC)[reply]

Good question. It was exactly that question that prompted me to create this article as I saw lots of references to the IPU but they seemed to have disappeared. If I find out what happened, I will add it! Maidonian (talk) 09:13, 27 May 2010 (UTC)[reply]

Can you just call The Royal Philatelic Society London at +44 (0) 20 7486 1044 to find an answer to that question? It looks like two organizations were related to each other. Thanks. --Michael Romanov (talk) 17:31, 27 May 2010 (UTC)[reply]

I have the history of the Royal and there is no mention of any merger or takeover of the IPU. I do expect to receive some new sources shortly which may shed more light. Maidonian (talk) 14:21, 28 May 2010 (UTC)[reply]

Headquarters

I am pretty sure that the IPU office was located in London. Correct me if I am wrong. --Michael Romanov (talk) 17:36, 27 May 2010 (UTC)[reply]
