Individual contributors
I owe a vast debt of gratitude to the three experts of East Africa revenue philately - Regis Hoffman, Harald Krieg and Taddeo Papi - whose collaboration with me on this section of the website has been as entertaining as it has been informative.
Grateful thanks also to Carmel Axiaq, Steve Farago, Roger Gilbert, Rick Green, Ian Matheson, Richard Peck, Norm Seidelman, Terry Russell and Chris Walters for providing additional information and scans. Very special thanks also to the late Ian Gibson and David Springbett, both of whom did so much to further research into East African revenues.
Enormous thanks too to David Beech, Paul Skinner and Richard Morel at the British Library for their help and expertise, and for allowing me access to the Library's extensive Philatelic Collections including the Crown Agents Requisition books and proof material.

When reproducing images of stamps not in my own collection, I have sought the permission of the current owner whenever possible, though in some cases the current owner is not known to me.
