Ceylon and Sri Lanka Stamp Image Library


This is an ongoing project aimed at creating an online database with images of all the stamps issued in Ceylon/Sri Lanka from the very first 1857 6d right up to the latest issue. We require your assistance to create this comprehensive database. If you are willing to contribute to this project, please provide a scanned JPG image of a stamp not listed in the database for inclusion. Include as much information as you can about the stamp (such as the colour, perforation, year of issue and the Stanley Gibbons catalogue number). Each image will be hosted on a separate page where we will acknowledge your contribution and have a link to your website if you so wish. Please desist from plagiarising images from other websites. Please email your images to
