Help is also needed to staff the ATA booth on the show floor. If you plan on attending during the week and can volunteer an hour or two, that would be greatly appreciated. Please contact David Wolfersberger if you plan to attend StampShow 2018, and if you can help at the ATA booth. We look forward to seeing you in Columbus this August!
The eagerly awaited Carto-Philatelist Journal Digital Archive is now online and accessible to members of the CartoPhilatelic Society. Established in 1955 by a small group of avid topical map stamp collectors, the CartoPhilatelic Society is soon approaching its 65th year anniversary as an organized society. From its inception, the members of the Society have published an official Journal. Although the Society has existed for more than sixty years, early editions of the Society’s Journal, The Carto-Philatelist, have been surprisingly difficult to acquire. There is a massive amount of detailed research gathered by Society members and others locked away in the printed pages of the early issues. Those original Journals also offer a unique window into the past operations of the Society through the often-exciting biographical sketches of the members, their communications with the Society, and the witty commentary of the Editors. A full run of the Society’s earlier Journals provides exciting reading spanning the last half century. The officers along with some earlier members of the Society pursued the idea to make the original Carto-Philatelist Journals available using Adobe’s Portable Document Format (PDF). A complete set of Journals was assembled, digitally scanned, and converted to PDF format. The archive comprises 165 individual issues and over 3,840 pages. The members only, password protected archive can be accessed from this link or using the “Publications” menu on the Society’s web site. [ The CPS thanks all of the members who donated issues and scans over the years to help make this archive a reality. – admin ] Just in time to help with a new year of CartoPhilatelic research, the Cumulative Tables of Contents (CTC) listings, complied by our European Representative, Mr. Volker Woesner, and introduced on page 19 of the January 2017 TNCP #56 are ready for download! Learn more about these important resources. The CTC lists will continue to be available for open download through the “Publications” menu. [we look forward to your feedback -web admin]
