{{Short description|Philatelic award}} thumb|First two pages of the Roll on display at the London 2022 International Stamp Exhibition, February 2022 [[File:King George 1923 LCCN2014715558 (cropped).jpg|thumb|King George V was the first signatory to the Roll.]] The '''Roll of Distinguished Philatelists''' ('''RDP''') is a philatelic award of international scale, created by the Philatelic Congress of Great Britain in 1921 to honour those who have advanced philately through research, expertise, or service. The Roll consists of five pieces of parchment to which the signatories add their names. New honorees continue to be added annually.
== Selection of the signatories == Those who have assisted the development of philately through their research, expertise or giving their time can be candidates to sign the Roll if they are sponsored by one of the existing signatories. The following four years, the candidate is examined once a year with the other current ones by a Board of election.<ref name="Butler, RDP">Arthur Ronald Butler, ''The Roll of Distinguished Philatelists'', The British Philatelic Federation Limited, 1990</ref>{{rp|33}}
The ceremony of signature of the Roll happens at the annual Philatelic Congress of Great Britain.<ref name="Butler, RDP"/>{{rp|37–38}} Under the Congress' rules, the signatories can talk and vote during the Congress.<ref>Arthur Ronald Butler, "The Beginning", chapter one of ''The Roll of Distinguished Philatelists'', The British Philatelic Federation Limited, 1990, page 7.</ref>
Forty-two philatelists were honoured posthumously on the first page of the Roll as "Fathers of Philately".<ref name="Butler, RDP, chap2">Arthur Ronald Butler, "The Roll and the 'Fathers of Philately'", chapter 2 of ''The Roll of Distinguished Philatelists'', The British Philatelic Federation Limited, 1990</ref>{{rp|9–27}}
Four other names were added in the 1950s at the bottom of the first page. In 1951, Edward R. Woodward (died 1931) and J. Stanley Telfer (died 1938) were honoured by the Board of election because they were two important philatelists and member of the Board. In 1956, because the Board was sure they would have been called to sign the Roll if they would have lived longer, United States citizen Clarence W. Hennan and A. Tort Nicolau of Spain were added too.<ref name="Butler, RDP, chap2"/>{{rp|26–27}}
== History of the Roll == On 30 October 1919, Percy C. Bishop, a member of the ''London Stamp Club'', proposed the institution of an "Philatelic Order of Merit" to honour philatelic writers. This order would be given more importance than existing philatelic prizes and would have an international importance. In late 1919, F. H. Vallencey, president of the club, presented the idea to the readers of his ''Stamp Collecting'' paper. In March 1920, a jury of five<ref name="Jury 1920">The members of the jury were Percy C. Bishop, Derek Ingram, Fred J. Melville, G. L. Tinker and F. Hugh Vallencey ; in Arthur Ronald Butler, ''The Roll of Distinguished Philatelists'', 1990, pages 3-4.</ref> published a list of twenty-five names who the jury selected from the ninety-one names sent by the readers and British associations.<ref>Arthur Ronald Butler, "The Beginning", chapter 1 of ''The Roll of Distinguished Philatelists'', The British Philatelic Federation Limited, 1990, pages 1—5.</ref>
However, to gain official recognition, the London Stamp Club let the associative members of the 1920 Philatelic Congress of Great Britain in Newcastle upon Tyne decide the future of Bishop's idea. A sub-committee was constituted to find a new name and write rules of the award.<ref>Arthur Ronald Butler, "The Beginning", chapter 1 of ''The Roll of Distinguished Philatelists'', The British Philatelic Federation Limited, 1990, pages 5—6.</ref>
At the 1921 Congress in Harrogate, the "Roll of Distinguished Philatelists" was created without any discussion.<ref>"Not only was the Roll presented as a ''fait accompli''", wrote Arthur Ronald Butler, in « The Beginning », chapter 1 of ''The Roll of Distinguished Philatelists'', The British Philatelic Federation Limited, 1990, page 6.</ref> The subcommittee has already got the signature of King and philatelist George V on the printed parchment, the twenty-four of the selected by the first jury and fifteen other philatelists were already invited to sign the Roll on the last day of the Congress.<ref name="Butler, RDP, p6-7">Arthur Ronald Butler, "The Beginning", chapter 1 of ''The Roll of Distinguished Philatelists'', The British Philatelic Federation Limited, 1990, pages 6—7.</ref>
Starting in 1922, the selection of the signatories was annual except between the Congresses of 1940 and 1946 because of World War II.<ref>Arthur Ronald Butler, ''The Roll of Distinguished Philatelists'', The British Philatelic Federation Limited, 1990, page 89.</ref>
== The "fathers of philately" == The names of forty-two deceased philatelists are printed on the Roll page that was signed between 1921 and 1935. They were placed in the ribbons that ornate the two columns on each side of the page. They were included as "fathers of philately".<ref name="Butler, RDP, chap2"/>
