With the advent of the Word Processor the opportunity has been taken to convert these original hard copy indexes into electronic format, to amalgamate them into one document, and to bring the index up to date. From this point forward future indexing will be relatively straightforward and the index will be updated as each bulletin is published. To those members with a PC it is hoped that ultimately it will be available on-line, alternatively up-to-date hard copy prints will be available on request from the Publications Officer. The index now provides easy access to an enormous corpus of high quality information covering virtually every topic within British West Indies philately. As the number of subjects covered has expanded over the years it has been deemed necessary to sub-divide the topics under each colony heading into four separate categories, each entry being listed in alphabetical order. It is heartening to see that a number of the entries have multiple page references, the original representing a query and those subsequent supplying the answer or additional information. This is an essential feature of any study circle, the sharing of knowledge and expertise. Peter Fernbank January 2002 Notes: (These notes, made by Victor Toeg in 1987, are still relevant) Not everything in the Bulletins has been included in the index. I have followed the principle that items involving philatelic enquiries and information in a wide sense should be covered and in addition the affairs of the Study Circle and its members are also shown. There is a fair amount of overlapping in references, and this is intentional. An item may, for example, affect more than one country, or it may be information relating to the British West Indies generally. In such cases the same reference is included under the several countries and/or under the heading 'British West Indies'. The original Bulletins numbered 1-7 (both inclusive) for the period April 1954 to October 1955 were, as might be expected, rather simple and crude being produced in pamphlet form in a larger format than that of the Bulletins numbered 8 onwards. Sometime after the present format was adopted, it was realised that the numbers of these early Bulletins were very limited and persons joining the Study circle subsequently would find it extremely difficult or impossible to acquire a complete set of Bulletins. It was decided therefore to print a quantity of Bulletins numbered 1-7 (both inclusive) abridged, to be comprised in one Bulletin in the current format and at the same time the contents were suitably pruned which resulted in the pages being renumbered. Consequently, reference to page numbers in the Bulletins numbered 1-7 will be the original page numbers when mentioned in Bulletin 8 onwards until the printing of the abridged version of Bulletins 1- 7 occurred. 2 Index to Bulletins 1-251 Bulletin Numbers Year January April July October 1954 1 2 3 1955 4 5 6 7 1956 8 9 10 11 1957 12 13 14 15 1958 16 17 18 19 1959 20 21 22 23 1960 24 25 26 27 (Sept) 1961 28 29 30 31 1962 32 33 34 35 1963 36 37 38 39 March June September December 1964 40 41 42 43 1965 44 45 46 47 1966 48 49 50 51 1967 52 53 54 55 1968 56 57 58 59 1969 60 61 62 63 1970 64 65 66 67 1971 68 69 70 71 1972 72 73 74 75 1973 76 77 78 79 1974 80 81 82 83 1975 84 85 86 87 1976 88 89 90 91 1977 92 93 94 95 1978 96 97 98 99 1979 100 101 102 103 1980 104 105 106 107 1981 108 109 110 111 1982 112 113 114 115 1983 116 117 118 119 1984 120 121 122 123 1985 124 125 126 127 1986 128 129 130 131 1987 132 133 134 135 1988 136 137 138 139 1989 140 141 142 143 1990 144 145 146 147 1991 148 149 150 151 1992 152 153 154 155 1993 156 157 158 159 1994 160
