Web Site Maintenance

During July and August, both the mapsonstamps.org and rc.cartophilately.org web sites will be undergoing some maintenance.  During this time, operation of the sites may be intermittent or in some cases may be unreachable. Additionally any bookmarked links you may be using will not function during those times. If you have any questions, please contact the web admin. We appreciate your patience and understanding during this period. Thank you. — [web admin]

CPS Members Only Resource Centre Now Open

CPS Resource Centre – Oct. 2021

The  CartoPhilatelic Society Resource Centre (RC) is now open. The RC is a new members only password protected service from the CartoPhilatelic Society.

This new website site has redesigned the access to the Society’s Journal Archives.  The main feature of the RC is the ever-growing list of indispensable reference citations – submitted by you, our members – to aid in cartophilatelic research.  An expanded list of internet links as well as a section for RC Projects is being planned.

Member Lloyd Field has volunteered to be the Resource Curator and will be your point of contact when you submit new reference citations, links, and content to the RC.

The RC site can be accessed using the CPS Resource Centre link under the “Resources” menu option. Once you access the RC site you can bookmark for easy access. Access credentials for the RC can be found on the last page of the October issue of  TNCP No. 75 and is a service for current members of the CartoPhilatelic Society. If you have any questions, please use the contact form.

Web Site Status

2013-12-30  (23:30 UTC)

After a discussion with the Officers, the Forum and CPS Exchange pages have been removed. Unfortunately the Forum was not largely used and became difficult to manage due to spam posts. The CPS Exchange was dormant for a number of years and did not take off as was hoped.  If you are interested in participating in an online philatelic community,  please have a look at these two, very fine forum sites: Stampboards, a very active, large and well established site, and also Stamp Exchange, a newer and increasingly active forum.   Please note that the CPS is not endorsing either of this forums, but only wanting to pass along this information to our members. There have also been updates to the base software which runs our site. Please use the contact form if you are having problems or any questions about our site.

Receive email updates when new content is added to the web site

Did you know you can receive an email message automatically whenever new content is updated to the web site?

Signing up for this service is easy. Below the menu bar, in the upper right hand corner of the web page, are two small icons, one for “By RSS” and the other for “By Email.”  When you press the “By Email” letter icon, a new screen will appear with a dialog box for you to enter your email address and then complete a security “captcha” test, by correctly entering the distorted characters  that are shown in the image.  After you complete the “captcha” test the system will send you a confirmation email. You need to respond to that email by clicking the link contained in the email.  When you do that, the system will then send you an email when new content is added.  Please contact us if there are any problems in using this function.
