We would like to acknowledge the support and endorsement of Jerry Blair who provided access to his collection of materials for many of the scans of the full-sheet materials. I wish to thank him also for his enthusiasm and encouragement in pursuing the project.
I wish to also give acknowledgement to the late Peter Troy whose collecting efforts earned him the 2009 Gold for his collection on the Territory of Papua. His collecting efforts brought together many of the proofs and other extremely rare items which have been scanned and included in the booklet materials.
I also wish to give a heartfelt thanks to Gary Watson of Prestige Auctions who provided us with access to their images archives to provide many of the scarce images. Their generosity of spirit and professionalism is much needed and appreciated in supporting the needs of collectors of stamps of Papua New Guinea.
I would also like to give acknowledgement to others who have also contributed material and knowledge - Tony Griffin, Bill Gammage and Mike Hill.
