Postage stamps and postal history of Vanuatu

A modern stamp miniature sheet of Vanuatu depicting explorers.

This is a survey of the postage stamps and postal history of Vanuatu, formerly known as the New Hebrides, an island group in the South Pacific. Between 1906 and 1980, the islands were an Anglo-French Condominium.

One of the outcomes of this arrangement was that both countries issued their own postage stamps for the islands, although towards the end of the Condominium, there were joint issues with the initials EIIR (Elizabeth II Regina) for the UK, and RF (République Française) for France.
