Tradition

Generation Stamps

Tradition is shared roots and memories that connect the past with the present. We demonstrate that the history of the Polish Post is not a closed book – it is a story that continues to unfold and shapes our everyday lives.

Idea

On October 18, 1558, King Sigismund II Augustus established the Royal Post Office, making Poland the third country in Europe with a modern, permanent postal service. Since then, letters, parcels, and urgent deliveries have often changed the course of history, with postmen and postal workers connecting cities, families, and entire generations.
Today, this rich heritage inspires the Foundation's activities – combining remembrance of the past with modern forms of education and social cooperation.

Goals

  • Preservation and promotion of postal heritage as a common good.
  • Supporting historical and philatelic education among children, youth and adults.
  • Building intergenerational bonds that strengthen the sense of identity and continuity of tradition.
  • Promoting pride in the history of the Polish post office in the country and abroad.
