Since its foundation in 1901, the Historical Society of the Principality of Liechtenstein has made a significant contribution to researching and communicating the country's history and protecting its cultural heritage. To mark this occasion, Philately Liechtenstein is dedicating a special stamp to the society on its 125th anniversary. The Historical Society was founded by committed figures from politics and society and quickly developed into one of the country's most important cultural institutions. Its purpose is to promote history and regional studies and to foster historical awareness.
