Festive evening at the Palmarès of MARE BALTICUM 2024 in Tartu, Estonia. In addition to two members from the USA, one of our Japanese members also traveled to the event.

The ArGe Baltikum has members from a total of 23 countries on 4 continents, making it one of the world's most active working groups dealing with the philately of the Baltic states!

We therefore operate this website and have also been publishing our publications in English since 2022 and have gained over 20 new members since then.
