In 2011, Björn Sohrne made a display at the Royal Philatelic Society London, and published a handout about his collections.
In 2020, David Feldman made an interview with Björn about his life and his collections.
Scans of Björn Sohrne’s exhibits have been gathered and made available on Netex by members of Norrorts Frimärksförening, for the benefit of collectors around the world. The exhibits are not always in the same form as when they were last exhibited. Individual pages may be missing and there may also be some ”extra” pages.
