Forschungs- und Arbeitsgemeinschaft Irland e.V.

The FAI was founded on 24 July 1982 by Frank Holzmüller in order to establish a platform for research and communication for all those interested in Irish philately in the German Federal Republic.

[2] The FAI keeps in touch with the other philatelic Ireland societies all over the world and cooperates with the Irish postal administration An Post.

[4] By publishing this series, the FAI contributes to the progress of philatelic research in the field of Irish postal history.

In the year of publication, all FAI members receive a copy of the new volume either for free or at a special rate, depending on the number of pages and retail price.

The publications of the FAI thus constitute an important link between the German- and the English-speaking philatelists and are accessible for collectors and researchers in the field of Irish philately all over the world with no language barrier.
