INDEX TO COSTA RICAN PHILATELIC LITERATURE Part II (Third Edition) 1974-2000 Compiled and Edited by Hector R. Mena Published by SOCIETY FOR COSTA RICA COLLECTORS October 2000 SOCORICO Society for Costa Rica Collectors Postal Box 14831 Baton Rouge, Louisiana 70898 United States of America ISBN 0-9645247-1-6 2000 All rights reserved under Pan American and International Copyright Convention. The reproduction of all or any part of this book for commercial purposes without the written consent of the SOCORICO Board of Directors is prohibited Printed in Baton Rouge, Louisiana, USA Price $10.00 Introduction and Explanations The third edition of the Second Part of the Index of Costa Rican Philatelic Literature comprises all the articles, books and other references housed in the SOCORICO Library from 1973 through September of 2000. The overall display of the entries is similar to the prior two editions and it follows the First Part written by Earl Fossum more than 25 years ago. However, all the entries have been revised and corrected when erroneously described. Also I have added several new chapter in the subject index. As in the prior two editions I am listing all the articles printed in The Oxcart, Repertorio Filatelico Costarricense and Costa Rica Filatelica, even if they were not related to Costa Rica philately. The first two publication have been the only ones continuously published during this period and dedicated almost exclusively to the Costa Rican philately. Costa Rica Filatelica is also dedicated only to Costa Rica but it has been published sporadically in the last 25 years. There have been a few short-lived publications dedicated mostly to Costa Rica (Panorama, Filatelica Joven and the Boletin of the Costa Rica Philatelic Society). The rest of the articles came from different sources the most important is the Central American Newsletter from London. A few articles have appeared in more general journals and this information may not be complete since the Library may not have had access to these sources. This is again a computer-generated publication. The sorting of the articles and some unusual punctuation and word separation is derived from the fact that the text was converted from a spreadsheet. Therefore, the sequential issue number of some journals is based on the first digit, therefore an issue number 100 will be ahead of any issue over 20 or above, and an issue number 200 will be ahead over any issue number 30 or above. This could have been solved by adding 0s to the issue number but it would have look worse. The Oxcart (Ox)- All articles. It is the official publication of the Society for Costa Rica Collectors (SOCORICO). It is the only Costa Rica philatelic publication in English that has been published without interruption each quarter since November of 1960. In addition is the third oldest, after the publications of the Mexican and Guatemalan societies, of Latin American journals published in the United States. This Index includes from Volume 14 to 40 that includes serial number 54 to 160. Repertorio Filatelico Costarricense (RFC)- All articles. This publication is the only Spanish language journal published continuously since its foundation in July of 1979. Its editor Fred O’Neill, the most prolific philatelic writer in Costa Rica philately, publishes it monthly. Each issue has 5 to 12 pages and at least one major philatelic study on Costa Rica written for specialists. This Index includes all the articles from issue 1 to 235. Costa Rica Filatelica (CRF)- All articles. This is the official publication of the Costa Rica Philatelic Association (AFCR). It has been published in 6 periods. The first three (1933-1939, 1940-1945, and 1959- 1974) are included in the First Part of the Index. This Part includes the last 3 periods. The fourth period issues (1974-1979 serial number 85 to 91), as well as the previous period issues contains 24 to 52 pages printed on coated paper and nicely bounded and illustrated. During the year 1983 a publication with the same name was published. However, this is a pamphlet with 4 to 6 pages, in a quite different style than its predecessors. Between 1985 and 2000 there have been 5 more issues (serial number 97-101) which have the same quality of the older publications. Central American Newsletter (CAN)- Costa Rica articles only. The Central American Study Group of the Main Society of Great Britain publishes it. It has been regularly published every quarter since September 1980. This Index includes all the serial number from No 1 to 80. Specialized articles on Central American philately are published and Costa Rican articles are well represented. Era de Oro de la Filatelia Costarricense. (EraOro) This is a book published by Dr. Carlos Saenz in Spanish in 198 that reviews information from Costa Rican issues from 1863 to 1903. Other Publications Filatelia Joven (FilJov) was a publication intended for beginners and general collectors published in 1983. Panorama was a commercial publication with a few philatelic articles published in 1982. During one of the many Costa Rica Filatelica hiatus a pamphlet called Boletin of the AFCR and later the Mirador was published. All of the above publications were in Spanish.

Although the Library contains almost all of the references cited in the Philatelic Index Part I and II, it is possible that other articles and notes, some of significance has been published and of whose existence the Librarian is unaware. Contributions of missing material, or information as to its sources are always welcome and will be included in future supplements of this Index. In those instances in which the owner does not wish to part with an original copy, the Librarian will be glad to duplicate the article and return it to the owner intact. Only through the cooperation of all students of Costa Rica philately can SOCORICO members and others be reasonably certain that a single centralized repository will exist in which all information of significance may be obtained for use in on-going philatelic research. Acknowledgment of any contribution for the Fossum SOCORICO Library is made periodically in The Oxcart, SOCORICO’s quarterly journal.
