W. Wilson Hulme II

Woodrow Wilson Hulme II (June 14, 1946 – January 10, 2007) was a philatelist noted for his work in advancing the appreciation of stamp collecting, especially by his work at the National Postal Museum in Washington, D.C. Hulme collected postage stamps and postal history of the United States and was considered an expert on the subject.

Hulme served as Curator of the National Postal Museum at the Smithsonian Institution in Washington, D.C., where he established a policy of displaying postal themes and fixtures that would not only attract stamp collectors, but also the curious public.

Because of his expertise of United States postal history, Hulme made significant discoveries during his research of early post office records and wrote numerous articles on the subject.

Hulme was active in the U.S. Philatelic Classics Society, where he served as president from 2004 to 2007.

A number of honors were bestowed on Hulme, including the Distinguished Philatelist Award, Carroll Chase Cup, Mortimer Neinken Award, and the Lester G. Brookman Cup.
