The Slusser Memorial Philatelic Library houses a collection of over 30,000 books, 
journals, catalogs, photos, maps, and other reference items related to the
philatelic history of the United States, especially the Western States, U.S.
postal history and worldwide philatelic history.

Dedicated in October 1996, the library is adjacent to the Postal History 
Foundation in the unique West University Historic Neighborhood District.  Its 
aesthetic appeal and architectural features have received national distinction.
It features a spacious reading room, exhibit area, book, and catalog sections.  
Most importantly, it has become one of the most recognized repositories of
philatelic literature in the United States.  Its material is an excellent resource 
for students, educators, historians and researchers. A trip to the Slusser Library 
is guaranteed to be worthwhile.  We look forward to your visit!

Grant awarded to the Slusser Library!

The Peggy J. Slusser Memorial Philatelic Library was awarded a generous grant to 
create an online catalog of its holdings. Made possible by funds granted by the 
Arizona State Library, Archives and Public Records Agency under the 
Library Services and Technology Act (LSTA), which is administered by the 
Institute of Museum and Library Services, the funding will be for fourteen months, 
beginning at the end of June 2009. Two additional staff have been hired to assist 
with converting the existing card catalog and creating electronic records of the 
library’s collection. This will be done in collaboration with the Pima County Public Library, 
as well as a proposed union catalog with American Philatelic Research Library 
and Rocky Mountain Philatelic Library. The goal of the project is to make the 
collection more accessible and easier to search.
