The Migratory Bird Hunting Act of 1934 spawned the longest running series of stamps in American history. Duck Stamps have captivated countless collectors including Jeanette Cantrell Rudy, who donated her collection to Smithsonian's National Philatelic Collection in 2006. Assistant Curator Daniel Piazza will present duck stamps of Franklin D. Roosevelt's administration illustrated by images from the Rudy Collection.
