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.

Recent Journal Dispatch News
50th Issue of TNCP Dispatched to Members
The 50th issue of The New CartoPhilatelist, the Society’s award winning journal has been dispatched to members. There was a slight delay while we worked to add a number of new and renewing members to our mail list. The 50th edition of the journal is a milestone and proof over the years of our Society’s active membership and dedicated editors. Congratulations to all of you that have supported TNCP with articles. Dont stop now, you are only getting started and there is always space for more articles, no matter the size.
The 50th edition of TNCP begins with an article by Ap Koopman on the fascinating stamps of Hatay a very short-lived stamp issuing country. Next, James Hamilton continues his third installment of the cartophilatelic issues of St. Pierre and Miquelon. “Routes on Map Stamps,” is the title and theme of a multi-part article from Barry Garner. The first part examines land routes depicted on stamps and details a number of classic examples. President Emeritus Miklos Pinter takes a time out to tell us about some additional information about the air route depicted on French Morocco Sc# CB35. Next up is the second installment of Editor Martin Oakes’ article about map projections on stamps, filled with examples of many intricate projections and their matching stamp issues. Vice President David Wolfersberger highlights a number of recent new issues, so many over the past few months. An update to the Maps on Stamps Checklist is also included in the journal. The issue closes with a message from CPS President Mark Honig welcoming a number of new and renewing members and also a new treasurer for the Society, Mr. Phil Coop and gives a big “Thank you” to Ed Vallery, out-going treasurer, for his work and dedication over these past years.
