1898 Revenues

1898 Revenues is a blog-turned-encyclopedia that delves into the stamps issued by the U.S. government to finance the Spanish-American War. The site focuses not only on the stamps themselves—which are showcased in beautiful, highly detailed images—but also on their cancellation marks. Webmaster John Langlois includes extensive analysis on the cancels, a “Cancel of the Day” feature, and, for super-collectors, downloadable spreadsheets cataloging a huge variety of cancels. All posts are extensively indexed by topic, including “Cancels: Express Companies,” “Auctions,” and “Taxes: Puerto Rico.”
