On this page I am going to try to create a list of organizations and clubs for people who collect many different types of items. While it will start out small, I will be continually adding new links. Alphabetical by topic. For now I will be concentrating on national, and international, organizations. Local and regional may come at a later time. I hope you find it helpful.
