The International Uniform-Buttons Collectors' Club was established by Johan Van Wesemael in 1988 and is based in Antwerp, Belgium. The club is now 21 years old and seeks to promote close links between collectors world-wide. The club sends its members ten newsletters each year which provide details of members' interests, reviews of recent books and publications, a selection of "mystery" buttons, and other information sent in by members.

The club also distributes "Docufiles" which give the identity, date and description of a wide range of uniform buttons. Membership includes a number of authors, illustrators and specialist collectors. The club provides a useful and much-needed forum for uniform button-collectors around the globe. The subscription is still a few euros per year within the European Community. The equivalent rate for payment in U.S. dollars will be slightly higher - because of conversion charges and postal costs. Up-to-date information will be given at the time of joining.

If you are interested in becoming a member, you are welcome to send me your name, address and field of interest. I will pass this on to Johan who will send you a free issue and further information.
