Bob Schoolley-West
Robin "Bob" F. Schoolley-West was a former Head of the Philatelic Collections at the British Library.
He joined the Museum in 1973 after he investigated, as a police officer, the theft of items from the philatelic collections by James Mackay. In the mid-1980s he took an active part in tracking down forgeries of classic stamps made by Pro-Phila Forum in Germany based on photographs taken by a visitor to the Library.
Schoolley-West retired in 1991 and was succeeded at the British Library by his former assistant, David Beech.Publications
