Abstract
The article deals with the memorial aspect of the Brazilian philatelic bibliography. The research aimed at analyzingthe Catalog of Postage Stamps in Braziledited by Rolf Harald Meyer. The research procedure was bibliographic and documentary. The catalogs were accessed in a private library of a bibliophilatelist in Recife. Scientific literature was accessed through BRAPCI, BDTD Capes and SciELO. The survey resulted in a sample of 31 editions of the Catalog produced between 1975 and 2019. This sample was grouped into 3 different time periods: 1975 to 1986,1987 to 1999 and 2000 to 2019 and the data tabulated in Excel. Historical and editorial aspects, data on layout, printing, physical constitution and information architecture were identified. It was concluded that the Catalog has its brand consolidated in Brazil and abroad. It represents the symbolic work of collaborative knowledge between philatelic collectors and traders. It is proposedfor future studies that the Catalog goes beyond graphic studies and information organization and fits into the field of cultural transfer of transatlantic knowledge and the history of the book. It ratifies the postage stamp and its information regime as an object of research in several and different areas.
