  Horace Harrison was an outstanding student, collector, and writer on the stamps of Canada and the Provinces, most notably on the registered mail of Canada. His contributions to the hobby also include a long-term commitment to the formation and growth of the American Philatelic Research Library.
  
  Harrison used his knowledge and experience in the insurance industry to establish a favorable rate of insurance for philatelic collectors. He chaired the APS Insurance Committee from 1967 until he retired in 1984.
  
  Horace Harrison was an experienced national and international exhibitor, and won his first international medal in 1936 at TIPEX. He formed important Canadian collections of registered mail, the Large Queens, Newfoundland, flag cancels, and postal stationery that received numerous awards both here and abroad. He was also an accredited national and international judge, and served on juries in the United States as well as Taiwan, Australia, and Canada. He was vice president of SIPEX in 1966 in Washington, D.C., for which he designed new frames used at the show and subsequently by many U.S. national shows.
  
  He was extremely active in Baltimore area philately, and served the Baltimore Philatelic Society as president, treasurer, and member of the board of governors. He was instrumental in obtaining the society's clubhouse. He was active in the BALPEX and chaired several of its exhibitions. At the time of his death he had just completed a term as president of the British North America Philatelic Society. In 1991 he received the BNAPS Order of the Beaver.

  Horace W. Harrison
  
  Founded in 1943, the British North America Philatelic Society Ltd. (BNAPS) is an international organization devoted to the collecting and study of the stamps, postal markings, and postal history of Canada and its pre-Confederation colonies.An enduring part of BNAPS' contribution to Canadian philately is its well-respected philatelic journal, BNA Topics.
  
  The late Horace Harrison, a long-time member of the society who served as its President shortly before his passing, firmly believed that philatelic knowledge should be shared among all philatelists.In his will Horace bequeathed financial support to BNAPS to encourage such projects.
