Description The text analyses the historical, didactic and methodological aspects of the use of post stamps in the educational process. It focuses on the reflection of the renewed Czechoslovak and Polish statehood after the end of the First World War through the period and jubilee post stamps. Like posters, post stamps are a historical source reflecting mainly modern (national) history and, for example, the changes in the statehood. On the basis of an appropriate selection, the mechanisms of legitimization of the state power or propaganda can be concisely and effectively explained in history lessons. The described procedure creates an effective alternative educational medium that strengthens the interdisciplinary cooperation of school history - media education.
