The Pan-American Union was founded (1889–90) at the first of the modern Inter-American Conferences as the Commercial Bureau of the American Republics and changed to the International Bureau of the American Republics in 1902. The name Pan-American Union was adopted in 1910. Created to promote international cooperation, it offered technical and informational services to all the American republics, served as the repository for international documents, and was responsible through subsidiary councils for the furtherance of economic, social, juridical, and cultural relations. In 1948 it was reconstituted as the Organization of American States, although the name was not dropped until 1970. The anniversary of its founding is Pan-American Day.
There were 21 original countries that established the Pan American Union. I thought to start by acquiring all of the issues commemorating the 50th anniversary in 1940. Then, later possibly expanding to the stamps publicizing the different annual conferences held and the other issues honoring the Pan American Day.
Anyway, here's a small start....

I have started a new topical collection - stamps associated with the establishment of the Pan American Union.
