The hobby invoving the collection and study of postage stamps and their history is called 'stamp collecting'. It can also be called 'philately'; both terms are correct. This term also refers to collecting stamps for reasons other than historical study: some people collect stamps because of the illustrations used on individual stamps, flowers, or aircraft, or buildings, for example; others collect stamps of a particular color.
'Philately' is the term which defines 'the collecting and study of stamps and postal history as a hobby' (Cambridge). The word 'philately' may be used to define either the collecting of, or the study of, stamps.
A person who collects or studies stamps is called a stamp collector, or philatelist. There are specific terms which refer to some specialized areas of stamp-collecting; for example, the collection and study of airmail stamps is called 'aerophilately'.
