SEARCHING FOR EXHIBITS ON EXPONET
How to search for exhibits?
To search for exhibits, use one of the options in menu at the top of the left column of the screen under the heading Philatelic exhibits.
You can select just one basic criterion
(Selection of exhibits by territory,
Selection of exhibits by subject,
Selection of exhibits by time period, or
Selection of exhibits by EXPONET class), or
combine more criteria on the same time
(Selection of exhibits by all four criteria simultaneously).
Using of any of these functions will display context pull-down menus for each basic criterion and its three menu levels. For each basic criterion you must always
start the selections from the top level menu (clicking in the row of the menu will display the complete choice of that one). If you click on a blank line at the top
of the menu, the search for this menu level will be cancelled. To start the selection process, please click on the Select button; as a result you will see the list of exhibits matching your criteria.
It is also possible to search for exhibits by exhibitor’s country of origin
(Selection of exhibits by the country of exhibitor) or directly by his/her name
(Selection of exhibits by the name of exhibitor).
If you want to repeatedly visit an exhibit remembering its Registration number, use the
Selection of exhibits by the exhibit registration number selection option.
Our regular visitors will certainly appreciate the
List of most recent exhibits
selection option.
A trial function
List of most visited exhibits
was introduced. In the future we expect
that its functionality would be modified to fit better its purpose.
Separately, you can find all of the exhibits currently available for sale
(List of exhibits for sale).
All these exhibits are marked in all selections with the symbol

How to easily find all the thematic exhibits?
In the left column of the screen under the heading Philatelic exhibits use
Selection of exhibits by EXPONET class and at the top level of drop-down menu
(EXPONET exhibition class level 1) enter Thematic philately. According to extended concept of the exhibition classes
in EXPONET however, we include here some exhibits of Open Class with a thematic content.
How to easily find all the postal history exhibits from a certain country?
In the left column of the screen under the heading Philatelic exhibits use
Selection of exhibits by all four criteria simultaneously. By the criterion for territorial classification
enter step by step the continent (Territorial level 1) and the country
(Territorial level 2), or even its part
(Territorial level 3) and at the same time, according to criterion for exhibition classes
(EXPONET exhibition class level 1) enter Postal history.
How can I return back to the list of selected exhibits?
Return to the list of selected exhibits is carried out by clicking on the button Back or using the arrow
"back" in your web browser.
I wonder the topic ... which I can't find in your categories. Could you add it?
Thank you for your suggestion. We will think over adding of your proposed category. Note however, that exhibits more or less related with your topic can be
found in already existing categories with a similar meaning. Please review carefully all the categories. When prepared the classification structure, we tried to
cover the maximum of thematic areas most often represented in the exhibits. To be best accessible for more visitors, we included the exhibits into multiple
categories, even if they fit in only partially. Those exhibits that do not comply with any of the above categories, we placed so far to category "Other …"
(such a category we have introduced at all levels in the whole structure, where it makes sense). If you see any exhibit that you believe should be included in
some of the other existing categories, please let us know.
Only by chance I found the exhibit ... that should be included also in another category.
Thank you for informing us. We will check it and include the exhibit to your proposed category. The classification of exhibits is undoubtedly very subjective
matter and we could easily make a mistake because of the great amount of processed exhibits.
I went thru the exhibits listed in the topic ..., but among them I found few exhibits, which do not meet any criteria for thematic exhibits. Please, correct
their wrong classification.
Thank you for informing us. We will check the classification of those exhibits in this category. Note however, that every exhibit we try to classify into multiple
categories, even if they match only partially. Our intention is to offer collectors samples of such material, which may be associated with a given theme, even if
only marginally, and inspire them for its potential use. EXPONET is not a competitive exhibition and therefore do not need to clearly meet the criteria in accordance
with FIP. We recognize, however, that the classification of exhibits is undoubtedly very subjective matter and we could easily make a mistake because of the great
amount of processed exhibits.

How can I view the exhibit?
When you click on title of each exhibit, the basic information about the exhibit will be shown and you will see a preview of the exhibit sheets. The click on any
