The New CartoPhilatelist is the premier publication for worldwide collectors of maps on stamps. It is published in English and is a benefit of membership available only to Society members, recognized philatelic libraries and commercial stamp periodicals.
The Society’s award-winning quarterly journal is published in color and printed on high-quality paper using MagCloud, a print on demand service. After printing, the journal is mailed flat, in a protective envelope, directly from MagCloud to each member with a hardcopy subscription.
Members with a digital subscription receive an email with a link to download an Adobe PDF file for the current issue. Hardcopy subscribers may also download digital versions of each journal issue through the “Members Only Journal Archive” described below.
Each issue of the Journal contains one or more illustrated feature articles pertinent to maps on stamps, new issue listings and illustrations, and brief news about Society matters and fellow members. The editor makes every effort to eliminate needless filler produced only for the sake of adding pages.

TNCP 36 Dispatched to Members
The first issue of 2012 begins with a detailed article about New Zealand pre-decimal map stamps, by resident NZ member Brian Marshall. Brian examines the history and provides some unique background information about the very popular early map issues from New Zealand. Next up, Roger Kirby describes a unique find with a personal connection this article about the beautiful map stamps commemorating Admiral Byrd’s second expedition to Antarctica. Be sure to check out the small note on page 3 mentioning a “stamp will,” a topic which should get more discussion. In late 2011 we learned of the sad news about the passing of two members of the Society, Dr. Martin Ira Glassner (d.2010) and Dr. Jack Child (d.2011). The next article in the issue is submitted from Peter Bleekrode in the Netherlands and describes the Zuider Zee and how that history is depicted on the very unique M.C. Escher designed Netherlands scB81. Society President David Wolfersberger has an update to his Maps and Trains articles with information about related stamps in a special category. The next article is the 3rd part of an article that first appeared in issue 34, and is a reprint of a richly illustrated French article on the History of Cartography as depicted in stamps, submitted by Maurice Touchette of Canada, with translation by Pierre Moise. Tom Tarabicos tells us about Greek history through cartophilately, in an article on page 10. Next, member Ang Kiang Kee of Singapore provides details on the massive South to North Water Diversion Project underway in China, and depicted in a souvenir sheet from China. The issues is rounded out with Society News, checklist updates and some sharp looking new issues.
