topical collecting listings

A local friend has shown interest in putting together a topical collection,
butterflies, and asked me where he could get a world-wide listing of issues
up to, say, the year 2000. I tried googling but came up with no more than
"for sale" adverts. I suppose one could very well go through the 6 volumes
of Scott page by page and make up one's own list (on any topic), but I'm
pretty sure that has already been done sometime, somewhere. A push in the
right direction would be appreciated. TIA.

A quick look at Vera Trinder's website (www.vtrinder.co.uk) shows for sale a
thematic catalogue on butterflies published by Domfil. Apparently in
English and Spanish you should be able to find a source for this in Canada.

You will find plenty of references to Domfil under Google.

A quick check of the American topical Association website -
www.americantopicalassn.org - shows a checklist of 88 pages for Butterflies -
revised in July 2004. I believe that this is probably the most comprehensive
listing available.

The American Topical Association publishes checklist for various topics and
its website http://www.americantopicalassn.org/ lists one for Butterflies
that was updated in July 2004. But these seem to be available only to members.
Annual dues for someone using a non-US address is US$30. Then there is a
charge for reproduction and mailing of the checklist.

Thanks to all for your help. My friend does not have internet, or a
computer for that matter, and when he expressed interest in setting up a
butterfly-stamps collection I thought I would get him a w-w list of issues
for Christmas. I will look around some more for a quick download and if all
else fails I will get him a Domfils catalogue by snail mail. Once again,
thanks a lot.

Tony:

Is this a beginning collector?
Would butterfly stamps be welcome?
If so, could we send them via yourself?
