BRITISH COLUMBIA POSTAL HISTORY NEWSLETTER INDEX for Issues 1 - 100 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.
