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.

Both members and non-members are encouraged to submit articles for publication. Authors are reimbursed for reasonable out of pocket expenses incurred in the production and submission of the article.
Publication dates for our journal are Jan 1st, April 1st, July 1st, and Oct 1st. Material for publication must be received by the 15th of the preceding month.
Before sending your submission, please have a look at the “TNCP Style Sheet – Instructions to Authors” document . This will answer a lot of questions you may have about preparing your article. After reading it, if you have any more questions, please contact TNCP Editor David Wolfersberger for additional information on submissions.
Members Only Journal Archive
In October 2009, a secure, members only web page was initiated for the download of digital editions of The New CartoPhilatelist Journals. A number of members have expressed a desire to obtain back issues. The archive allows current members password protected access to all of the digital copies from No 1 through the current issue.
In October 2021, both the TNCP and CP members only web pages were moved to the new CPS Resource Centre.
