Section 1 Articles Section 2 Cancels/Postmarks Section 3 Monographs Section 4 Auction Results

As a number of articles in the newsletter are concerned with cancels and postmarks as well as the history of post offices or specific covers, researchers are encouraged to check both Sections 1 and 2 when seeking information on postmarks. Similarly, some town names appear in section 2 when only an example of a postmark is included in the article.
