From the APRL Board of Trustees

Roger Brody, President APRL Board of Trustees

The sixth Annual Postal History Symposium, sponsored by the American Philatelic Research Library, the American Philatelic Society and the Smithsonian National Postal Museum, was held at the American Philatelic Center September 16–17. The Symposium theme was “How Commerce and Industry Shaped the Mails.” A total of fifteen papers were presented at the well-attended event. The Symposium was held in conjunction with a philatelic gathering hosted by the United States Stamp Society (USSS), whose members celebrated the Society’s 85th Anniversary with an exhibition of outstanding stamp and postal history material, a dealer bourse, and a banquet. That very same week, the APS celebrated its 125th Anniversary.

One of the more pleasurable events over the Symposium weekend was the complimentary luncheons for all attendees, dealers and APS/APRL staff held on Friday and Saturday funded by the APS and USSS. Needless to say, the free lunch proved to be a great success, especially the desserts which were an APS 125th Anniversary cake on Friday and a USSS 85th Anniversary cake on Saturday.

The luncheons were also an historic event for the APRL. They were held on the sky-lighted second floor atrium of the future APRL library. This was the first time an event was held in the new library space. In my previous message I mentioned that major renovations were being made to areas of the APC that would eventually house a new working library. The library currently is housed in the 7,500 square foot building #1 adjacent to the APC entrance. Numerous journals, periodicals, and library archives are shelved in the 5,500 square foot building #5. Our goal is to relocate the main library into the 15,000 square foot two-story building #3, with an additional 5,000 square feet in building #4 to include rolling shelf storage on the second floor. Ever since the APC was first occupied, complexes #3 & #4 were in significant disrepair with collapsed roofs leaving the units exposed to the elements. I am happy to report that major renovations to both building units were completed a few weeks before the Symposium. The half-million dollar construction included new steel beam internal structures supporting newly poured and reinforced concrete second floors. Additionally, new roofs over each building

Mental Pabulum


were installed with sky-lighted windows running almost the entire length of building #3. We are a step closer to a unified library that will permit us to accommodate enhanced library services along with new technology delivery systems.

Never having taken Latin in school, my vocabulary of the romance language is limited to a few phrases like habeas corpus, semper fidelis, or mea culpa, but the one phrase that came to mind as I enjoyed the company of fellow philatelists at the Symposium luncheon was mental pabulum: brain food” or “food for thought.” Here we were, dining in the space that one day will hold the world’s largest resource of philatelic knowledge. I can’t wait.

A Two Million Dollar BabySo what will it take to birth this library baby? $1,800,000. And what will

that buy?

acquiring and maintaining philatelic research materials. Tara reported that progress was being made on the backlog of materials needing to be cataloged and noted that more volunteers have been recruited to assist in library operations. She also circulated a written report on the Philatelic Librarians Group & Union Catalog.

The Board unanimously approved a motion to sign a three-year contract with Walsworth Publishing for the production of a print and digital quarterly edition of the Philatelic Literature Review. The new contract will result in an annual savings of $12,000 versus the current print provider. Readers would have the ability to search the web edition. Walsworth is the parent company of IPC Printing Services, which produces The American Philatelist.

Larry Nix, Chair of The Digital Delivery & APRL Internet Blog Committee submitted a revised preliminary report to the Board.

I also reported on a project initiated by Smithsonian National Postal Museum and the Royal Philatelic Society London. The project named Philatelic Research National Media Exchange or “PRIME” aims to create a worldwide internet searchable catalog that will include publications of national and international stamp societies and the holdings of all philatelic libraries. The initial groundwork by the NPM and the RPSL will be expanded to include the APRL and the Union Catalog.

The Board and library staff extended its thanks to outgoing Board member and Past President Ken Grant for his service to the APRL. Ken will be assuming a new position as Secretary of the APS. The Board also welcomed its newest member Patricia Stillwell Walker, elected by the members of the APS. Pat, recipient of the 2011 Luff Award for Exceptional Contributions to Philately, is an outstanding addition to the APRL leadership.

The Board elected officers for 2012 as follows:Roger Brody, PresidentRoger Schnell, Vice PresidentBruce Marsden, TreasurerRob Haeseler, Secretary

All the news that’s fit to blogI am happy to report that the APRL Blog has been very well received. Tara

reports that in the blog’s first year, we have had more than 9,700 visits from more than 5,300 unique visitors. We are averaging just over 25 visits a day. The two most popular posts (based on number of pageviews) are “Philatelic treasure in non-philatelic libraries” and “Caring for your personal library.” The latter post was based on questions received from blog readers. The Blog has had 109 posts and 62 comments. Our hats are off to Tara, Larry, and David.

Academic scholars who have never picked up a pair of tongs mingled with stamp collectors at the American Philatelic Center during the Sixth Annual Postal History Symposium, held Sept. 16–17. Both groups found they have much in common and much to learn from each other.

Over the course of two days, we heard presenta-tions from a variety of perspectives on “How Commerce and Industry Shaped the Mails.” Art historian Dan Gifford presented a qualitative analysis of postcards. Economist Erick Lee Erickson told us about an archaeological investigation of an abandoned post office. Andrew Oleksiuk introduced us to network art. Philatelist Terence Hines and economist Thomas Velk collaborated on an study of the postal money order system. Postal historians Robert Dalton Harris and Diane DeBlois gave a presentation on the shape of mail — complete with a show and tell of mail bags. At the Saturday evening banquet, keynote speaker David Hochfelder, a histo-rian, gave a timely talk on the future of the U.S. Postal Service.

That is just a sampling of the topics from this year’s symposium. If you missed the symposium — or if you want to revisit a presentation — all of the presentations are available for download from the Smithsonian National Postal Museum web-site (www.postalmuseum.si.edu/symposium2011/papers.html) and papers will be available soon.

The Seventh Annual Postal History Symposium will be held at the APC in Bellefonte in conjunction with an exhibition by the United States Philatelic Clas-sics Society, November 2–4, 2012. The theme is “Blue and Gray: Mail and the Civil War” and a call for papers is available in this issue and online (www.stamps.org/Postal-History-Symposium).

The Postal History Symposium is sponsored by the APRL, the American Phila-telic Society, and the Smithsonian National Postal Museum.

Room To GrowOn Sunday morning following the symposium, I gave a tour of the APRL for

attendees of the symposium and the concurrent United States Stamp Society 85th Anniversary show. My presentation included opportunities to see material from our special collections, tips for searching the online Philatelic Union Catalog, and a tour of the library space, including for the first time the future home of the APRL.

Scholars and Collectors Gather


What a difference new roofs, windows, and floors make! When I started work-ing at the APRL last year, you could look in the future library space in the Match Factory, but you couldn’t walk on the second floor, and light filtered in through holes in the roof. Now, you can walk on the new second floor, and light comes in through new windows, leaving rain and snow outside. Significant work remains to be done, but it’s much easier to picture a library in the space now.

Renewal TimeThis will be your last issue of the PLR if you have not yet renewed your library

membership. APS members received their library membership renewal along with their APS dues notice. Library members who are not APS members received a sep-arate renewal notice. Renew now to avoid missing an issue, and be sure to include your e-mail address to receive the newly enhanced online version of this journal.

The Peggy Slusser Memorial Philatelic Library of the Postal History Foundation in Tucson is collaborat-ing with the Arizona State Capitol Museum in Phoenix to help celebrate Arizona’s statehood centennial, which occurs in 2012. The Library and Museum have developed an exhibit “Words from the West: Arizona Stories and Stamps” that will be on display at the Capitol Mu-seum through 2012. The exhibit traces Arizona’s postal history using stamps, let-ters, artifacts, and postcards. The exhibit was dedicated on September 20, 2011. The Arizona Statehood stamp will be issued on February 14, 2012. Several Inter-net links to resources related to the exhibit are located at www.lib.az.us/museum/wordsfromwest_exhibits.aspx. It’s commendable when philatelic organizations go beyond the comfort of the philatelic community to promote philately and show how postal services have been a part of our nation’s history.

Rocky Mountain Philatelic Library ClassesThe Rocky Mountain Philatelic Library (RMPL) will continue in 2012 with its

successful “World History Through Stamps” course, which it provides in collab-oration with the University of Denver’s Adult Lifelong Learning program called OLLI. The RMPL conducted three of the courses in 2011. The course, which is eight weeks long, includes presentations by several speakers and is coordinated by an RMPL volunteer facilitator. One session includes a tour of the RMPL.

The book Mexico’s Denver Printings of 1914 by Ron Mitchell, which was pub-lished by the RMPL, received a gold medal in the literature competition at the APS StampShow 2011 in Columbus.

Northwest Philatelic LibraryThe Northwest Philatelic Library has

received a donation of Janice Weinstock’s Aerophilatelic Library. Weinstock de-veloped a comprehensive aerophilatelic library over several decades. In lieu of selling the contents of the library piece-meal she sought to preserve the library in a venue where it could be used and en-joyed by many. A complete bibliography of the collection is contained in multiple issues of Book Reports, the newsletter of the Northwest Philatelic Library, starting with the March–April 2011 issue. The newsletter is available online at www.nwpl.org/newsletter.html.

Railway Mail Service LibraryFrank Scheer, Curator of the Railway Mail Service Library in Boyce, Virginia,

was on hand to photograph and create video clips of the fortieth and final Wash-ington & Florence Railway Post Office clerks reunion in 2011. Only four of the sur-viving clerks were able to attend. According to Frank, this marks the end of an era.

APS Volunteer Awards Congratulations to Sergio Lugo and Paul Nelson on receiving the 2011 Nicho-

las G. Carter Volunteer Recognition Award from the American Philatelic Society. Sergio is one of the founders of the Rocky Mountain Philatelic Library and serves as its current President. Paul Nelson has been an active supporter of the Slusser Memorial Philatelic Library and serves on the Library Committee.

Your Philatelic Literature and Research Blog

http://blog.stamplibrary.org


by Brian J. BirchIn the second quarter 2011 issue of the Philatelic Literature Review,1 I detailed

my sporadic but twenty-five-year-long search for R.W. Lawson’s thesis entitled ALibrarian’s Guide to the Literature of Philately. After outlining the lengthy and con-voluted trail I followed, the article ended with the same query with which it had begun: “Where is A Librarian’s Guide to the Literature of Philately”?

The digital version of the second quarter’s edition of the Philatelic Literature Review plopped into my e-mail in-box in early July. As I was preparing for our summer holiday, the e-mail was noted but not opened.

Then, on July 13, I received an e-mail from Ellen Peachey, my main contact at the American Philatelic Research Library before her retirement in 2010. It said that she had just read my article in the digital version of the Philatelic Literature Review and added: “According to the APRL-hosted Union Catalog, the Collectors Club of New York library has a copy of the book Librarian’s Guide to the Literature of Phi-lately, by Richard Lawson.” To say that I was astounded was putting it mildly. I had spent years interrogating every non-philatelic source I could think of, but never once considered that it could be available in philatelic libraries.

Found: A Librarian’s Guide to the Literature of Philately


Further replies then began to arrive almost daily. On the 15th, Tara Mur-ray, the APRL Librarian advised me that Betsy Gamble at the APRL also had located the thesis in the Collec-tors Club library using their Philatelic Union Catalog. Tara had even gone to the trouble of checking with the Col-lectors Club and had verified that they still held a copy.

All this was really galling since I have been a member of the Collectors Club for well over twenty-five years and even have a copy of their huge library catalogue published in 1974.2 Sure enough, when I checked the catalogue, there was the index card. The library had therefore held this thesis since at least 1974, a mere sixteen years after it was published and more than ten years before I started looking for it!

Also in Tara’s e-mail was a copy of Lawson’s obituary that had been sent to her by Richard Perrin who had found it on the web.3 Another annoyance — before writing the original article I had searched for Richard Lawson on the web and had found nothing useful. A brief obituary derived from this web-site follows:

Dr. Richard W. LawsonRichard W. Lawson was born

on 2nd March 1932 in Warren, Pennsylvania to Clarence and El-sie Lindstrom Lawson. He mar-ried Dorothy Bloomster on the 18th August 1957 in Clarion, Pennsylvania, with whom he had three daughters. From 1964 to 1997, he was a professor of Library Science at Eastern Illinois Univer-sity. Prior to this, he had served as an Assistant professor of Library Science at Indiana University and

as Librarian at Slippery Rock State College in Slippery Rock Pennsyl-vania; Mansfield State College, Mansfield, Pennsylvania and Gi-rard High School, Girard, Penn-sylvania. Whilst living in Charles-ton, he was the owner of D. & D. Hobbies. He died on 26th June 2000 in Charleston.

On July 19 Steve Chun sent an e-mail notifying me that, according to his files, a copy of the thesis was also to be found in the Spellman Museum of Stamps & Postal History at Weston, Massachusetts, as well as at the Collec-tors Club of New York.

The next day Neil Coker, who has taken Ellen Peachey’s role at the APRL working for Tara Murray (but was ob-viously not copied on her e-mail to me) also reported that he had found the thesis in the APRL’s Union Catalog. He had checked the American Phila-telic Society’s membership database which listed Lawson as a Life Member and noted him in February 2006 as de-ceased.

Once I had returned from my holi-day, I sent an e-mail to the Librarian of the Collectors Club and, surprisingly, they had made copies of the thesis some time earlier and were happy to send me one of these for the price of the postage. The deal was a no-brainer and by the middle of August I was the, still surprised, owner of a copy of the long-sought-after thesis.

The ThesisThe comb-bound document I re-

ceived is evidently a photocopy of a photocopy of a carbon copy which, in places, makes for difficult but not im-possible reading. However, none of this


detracts from the fact that I now have a copy.

In his acknowledgments, the author thanks William W. Wylie, the editor of the Western Stamp Collector, George T. Turner, a major bibliophile and owner of one of the most important libraries ever, as well as Daniel W. Vooys, also a major bibliophile and founder of the Philatelic Library Association (which became the Philatelic Literature Asso-ciation and was eventually merged into the American Philatelic Research Li-brary). Interestingly, Vooys is described as a “dealer in philatelic literature” and, whilst he certainly bought

and sold literature in his role as head of the Philatelic Literature Association, I am not aware that this was ever his pro-fession. Nevertheless, three mentors of this caliber alone make this document worth reading.

The thesis is a slim volume of forty-three pages, with an additional four introductory pages including the title page. As the title would suggest, it pro-vides an introductory guide for Librar-ians, to the “essential publications in the literature of philately; and to make recommendations by providing de-scriptive annotations for the majority

of the publications mentioned.”The thesis was intended for

librarians at colleges, in city libraries, and even Universi-ties and provides details of the most important books and pe-riodicals then available. Taking the matter further, the author also suggests typical titles that should be held by each type of library and offers suggestions as to how the librarian should approach philately and phi-latelists.

Since I am not a librarian, it could be assumed that the thesis held little of interest to


me. Nevertheless, it made interesting reading in its own right and provided me with an insight into the mental pro-cesses of non-philatelic librarians with respect to philately and philatelists. As a bonus, I found in it several references to articles by George Turner that I had not come across before. However, one of my preoccupations for a couple of decades now is compiling a bibliog-raphy of material essential to phila-telic bibliophiles and librarians — The Philatelic Bibliophile’s Companion. The document and its satellite publications reside on the FIP Literature Commis-sion website: www.fipliterature.org and now comprise more than 5,000 pages (real A4 pages as printed out on pa-per that is, not nebulous web pages). It would seem churlish not to include a reference to this work therein.

ConclusionOne final lesson that this whole ex-

ercise has taught me is not to overlook philatelic sources, no matter what one is looking for. It has also highlighted the growing importance of the APRL’s Union Catalog for locating obscure and unusual items held by American philatelic libraries.

In May 2010, the American Philatelic Research Library began to create an inventory of docu-ments and materials found in the American Philatelic Society Ar-chives. This collection spans and in some cases pre-dates the 125-year history of the APS. In the 3rd quar-ter issue of this journal, we pub-lished an inventory of the earliest APS Archives.1 Here we continue with the next box, containing items from the period 1900–1919.

The Society nearly tripled its membership during this period, from just over 500 to more than 1,500, despite competition from the Society of Philatelic Americans and the Metropolitan Philatelic Society.2 At the beginning of the twentieth century, the APS was known as the American Philatelic Association. The APA adopted the name it has been known by ever since in 1908 at the Annual Con-vention in Columbus, Ohio. It cel-ebrated its Silver Jubilee in 1911.

While many items in the ar-chives bear an explicit date or a postmark, changes to the name of the Society and the dates of those changes provide additional help in dating otherwise undated items. Some undated items can be desig-nated “pre-1908,” because they are marked using the title American

Philatelic Association. Similarly, names that are directly mentioned in documents also provide clues.

The APS Archives include a great number of documents spanning more than 125 years; this is only a selection of those materials that fall within a specific 20-year period. Studying these items can help any collector gain greater insight into the history of the American Philatelic Society and philately.

APRL archival collections can only be used in the library in Bellefonte, but staff may be able to make photocopies or scans of specific items on request. This inventory is intended to assist researchers in accessing these materials for study. The APRL welcomes donations of material that fall within the scope of the ar-chives collection to make it more complete. Please contact Librarian Tara Murray at [email protected] or 814-933-3803 ext. 246 with questions about the APS Archives or to discuss a donation.

If we define our favorite books as those kept closest to our desk because they are the ones we use the most often, I have two favorite books. They are the same two books I would want to have with me if I were stranded on an island for an in-definite amount of time. They would keep me interested for a long time — assum-ing I was not too busy just trying to survive. These books are The Court Fees and Revenue Stamps of the Princely States of India by Adolph Koeppel and Raymond D. Manners and Indian Government Fiscal and Judicial Stamps and Papers by S.M. Blatt, A.M. Mollah, and D. Heppell. In reality, however, the topics are so broad that these two books comprise five volumes.

These volumes — beyond being the standard reference books in their respective areas — open windows to other worlds that no longer exist and that we might not otherwise know about. Koeppel and Manners show us a world of more than 300 Indian Princely States with Rajahs, Nawabs, Nizams, and Gaeckwads (all catego-ries of rulers); a brief introduction to languages of the Indian subcontinent includ-ing Hindi, Gujarati, Oriya, and Urdu; and an introduction to revenue stamps for purposes beyond those with which we are familiar in the United States, such as Court Fees, Petition Stamps, and Talbana (Process) Fee Stamps.

Blatt, Mollah, and Heppell offer a view of the complicated, confusing, and chal-lenging tax system in India; a world in which varied tax stamps exist from the early years of Queen Victoria through Independence including Agreement, Broker’s

What’s on Your Bookshelf?


Note, Custodian’s Fee, Court Fees, For-eign Bills, High Court Enforcements, and High Court Advocate — as well as more tax stamps and tax categories than most of us can imagine. In addi-tion, this reference includes the first detailed listing of the Indian Stamped Paper that is sometimes encountered on eBay or from stamp dealers. After reading this volume and learning about the myriad variations in size, color, printing, and overprints you won’t look at stamped paper in the same way any-more.

For those of us who use these vol-umes, we have the excitement of find-ing that these guidebooks, despite being the most complete and compre-hensive volumes published to date, are not the last word, as new discoveries continue to be made. Rather, the guides provide a structure for new discoveries and continued learning. They are next to my desk and I use them almost every day.

The full five volumes are:The Court Fees and Revenue Stamps

of the Princely States of India (1983)

The Court Fees and Revenue Stamps of the Princely States of India, Volume I: The Adhesive Stamps Supplement(1986)

The Court Fees and Revenue Stamps of the Princely States of India, Volume II: The Stamped Paper including Second Adhesive Stamp Supplement (1989)

Indian Government Fiscal and Ju-dicial Stamps and Papers, Volume I: Pre-Independence Issues (Including Pro-vincial Overprints) and All-India Post Independence Part 1

Indian Government Fiscal and Ju-dicial Stamps and Papers Volume I: Pre-Independence Issues (Including Pro-vincial Overprints) and All-India Post Independence Part 2

The Author Steve Zwillinger collects (among others subjects) Indian revenue stamps of the reign of Edward VII, Court Fee Stamps of the Indian states of Bundi, Bharatpur and Nabha as well as Hundis (a type of stamped revenue document) from the state of Birkaner.

The United States Postal Service provides a wealth of resources, reach-ing back to its roots in colonial America, for those interested in its history. Last summer the Historian’s Office redesigned their Postal History website (http://about.usps.com/who-we-are/postal-history/). It provides access to the essays, reports, and lists they have written and compiled about peo-ple who have worked at the Post Office as well as information on stamps, postage rates, mail transportation and delivery, postal uniforms, post of-fice buildings, and historical statistics for the Post Office. The photo gal-lery (http://about.usps.com/who-we-are/postal-history/pho-gallery.htm) displays a small fraction of the pictures held in the Post Office collection grouped by people, vehicles, buildings, equipment, airmail, and railroads. The research sources page links to other significant postal history collec-tions and provides a link for contacting the Historian’s Office.

Postmaster Finder (http://about.usps.com/who-we-are/postmasterfind-er/) is one of the most valuable resources. This growing database contains the names and dates of service for postmasters who served at more than 15,000 post offices, a number that increases weekly. It includes nearly all postmasters appointed after 1986 and for some post offices, the records stretch back to the 1700s. Besides personal names, the data can be searched

by city, county, state, ZIP Code, or dates of establishment and discontinu-ance for post offices.

The USPS corporate library sup-ports the information needs of the headquarters staff and is open to outside researchers by appointment. While its strength lies in the docu-ments, reports, and magazines pro-duced by the Post Office as well as Congressional reports and hearings about the Post Office, there is also a good collection of postal history books. For access, contact Raymond Plante, 202-268-2906 ([email protected]) in the library, or Jenny Lynch, 202-268-2074 ([email protected]) and Melody Selvage, 202-268-2532 ([email protected]) in the Historian’s Office.

1 February 2012 is a date to re-member: it is the deadline for authors, editors and publishers to apply with books, periodicals and catalogues in printed as well as digital form for IPHLA 2012 Mainz, the “International Philatelic Literature Exhibition” in the city of Gutenberg.

IPHLA 2012 takes place in Mainz, November 2–4, 2012, and is the only first-class philatelic event that year in Germany as well as one of the really significant ones in Europe. The venue is the beautiful city hall of Mainz. Ad-ditional events will include organizing future important meetings and con-ventions, such as the congress to cel-ebrate the 50th anniversary of AIJP, the

world association of philatelic authors and journalists; the yearly meeting of the Consilium Philatelicum of the Ger-man Federation of Philatelists (BDPh), which some of the most renowned phi-latelists of Germany and some neigh-bouring countries belong to; and the European Academy of Philately (AEP) will join in with a unique series of ani-mated lectures on the theme of “The Beginnings of Philatelic Literature in Europe,” presented by specialists from different countries.

Internationality is given special at-tention at IPHLA 2012. The invitation is extended not only to exhibitors from all over Europe, but also from coun-tries such as Canada, the United States, Argentina, Brazil, Chile, New Zealand,

Singapore, and Australia. Au-thors from other countries may also participate as long as their exhibit is written in one of the European languag-es. For the first time digital literature and websites are admitted in the competition, and this opening underlines the worldwide character of the exhibition.

Different world associa-tions of philately will be ac-tive participants. AIJP and ASCAT, the world associa-tion of catalogue and periodi-

“Last orders, please“ — Application Deadline for IPHLA 2012 Mainz Draws Near!


cal publishers, will present a survey of today’s catalogues and specialised mag-azines, and both of them — together with IFSDA, the world association of philatelic traders — will join hands for a special competition which takes place for the first time under the title of Promo4you(th). Here postal admin-istrations, editors and publishers from all over the world are invited to run for a prize awarded for the best “object” especially created to promote youth philately. Applications for this contest begin in February 2012 and end in May 2012.

Exhibitors, traders, and visitors will find detailed information on the web-site www.iphla.de, which serves as a central clearinghouse for all informa-tion pertinent to the event. Journalists will find plenty of text and pictures that they can use for their reports free of charge. Visitors will welcome sugges-tions of places to visit in Mainz and which hotel to choose, and later next year the calendar of events and the dig-ital catalogue will be put in. The print-ed catalogue will be available as early as in the summer months of 2012; a more complete version will be avaialable at

the web address, www.iphla.de.One of the highlights of this impor-

tant show on the anniversary of “150 Years of Philatelic Literature 1862–2012” is an auction of literature rarities organized by the prestigious and oldest auction house in Germany, Heinrich Köhler in Wiesbaden, and held in the municipal council hall on November 3, 2012. Rarities is the fitting word here, because unique items and rarities of the early years of philately in the nine-teenth century and coming from one of the best private German libraries will go under the hammer.

The program of IPHLA 2012 Mainzwill be rich and offer something for every taste, for both daytime and for the evenings, e.g., public readings and literature sessions, and on the closing day of November 4, 2012, a “Meeting of Philatelists“ organized by the Con-silium Philatelicum itself.

Daniel W. Vooys & the APRL(An earlier version of this article appeared in the 2007 4th Quarter PLR.)

Following the 1967 APS convention, held September 21–23 in Newark, New Jersey, the lead headline on the 81st An-nual Convention Report read: “Six New Units Accepted; Library Project Stud-ied.”

The idea of a philatelic library for the APS was not new — there had been an active members’ library in place as early as the 1890s, but that library was deed-ed to Carnegie Library of Pittsburgh in 1929. Edward (Ned) Willard was the APS president in 1967, and he appointed Daniel W. Vooys to head the committee to study the feasibility of establishing a philatelic library in State College, Penn-sylvania, home of the APS. Dan Vooys had been the creator and frequent edi-tor of the Philatelic Literature Review.His work for the library journal was so well known that Linn’s had called him “Mr. Philatelic Literature.”

By the March 1968 convention, Vooys was able to report that there was strong interest in creating a philatelic library that the membership could access by mail. At that point, a committee was set up to make the American Philatelic Research Library a separate educational unit of the APS. On October 28 the articles of in-corporation were signed, and the APRL, Inc., was a done deal. The most optimis-tic of the organizing committee suggested that it would be about ten years before materials could be made available for loan. In fact, the Library was functioning, loaning materials, and making photocopies of articles within five years of the in-corporation. Today, with nearly three miles of loaded shelves filling the current space to overflowing, individuals who knew Vooys just shake their heads and say “Dan wouldn’t believe it!”

Vooys was instrumental in both the creation and ultimate success of the APRL. He served on the Library’s Board of Trustees from 1969 to the time of his death in 1978. In fact, Vooys’ personal library became a core part of the APRL’s collection, weighing in at more than three tons of materials! He was also a generous bene-factor for the Library, and his shadow still brings the APRL good things. Several bequests have come or are continuing to come to us directly because of Vooys’ influence on other collectors’ lives.

[The American Philatelic Society celebrated its 125th anniversary this year, and as part of the celebration has been sharing Robert L.D. Davidson’s 12-part history of the first 100 years of the Society with its members, originally published in The American Philatelist. Brian J. Birch has compiled an index of people mentioned in the articles, which will be included in the next edition of his Philatelic Bibliophile’s Compan-ion (available from the FIP Literature Commission website at www.fipliterature.org/pbcompanion.PDF). APS members can access Davidson’s articles through links pro-vided in the monthly APS e-newsletter, and The American Philatelist is available at the APRL and most philatelic libraries.]

APRL New Acquisitions

The Catalog Continues To Grow

The following works — listed alphabetically by subject, country, or general specialty — have been added to the American Philatelic Research Library’s collections between July 1 and September 30, 2011.

Auction catalogs for named collections are included in our catalog and appear in this list, either under auction catalogs or under specific subjects. We have many more general auction catalogs that have not been included in the library catalog.

Journals are all listed together. Some are new publications that we are currently receiving. Others are older publications that we have received as donations.

New additions to the archives are just a tiny part of our vast archival collections, the majority of which have not been cataloged. Archival material does not circulate, but visitors are welcome to use them in the library, or staff can make photocopies or scans.

Lützenfrimärkena och Sveriges första förstadagsbrev [Lützen Stamps and Sweden’s First First Day Cover], by Mats Renhuldt. Published 2010 by the Author, Lund, Sweden. Hard-bound, 6 by 8½ inches, 104 pages, ISBN 978-91-971199-5-5. Avail-able for approximately $50 to the U.S. from the author at [email protected] November 1, 1932, Sweden is-

sued a set of four stamps in coil for-mat to mark the 300th anniversary of the death of Gustav II Adolf in 1632 during Europe’s Thirty Years’ War at the Battle of Lützen. The two lower values also were released in booklet format. The stamps were designed by Olle Hjortzberg, based on a painting by artist Carl Wahlbom, and engraved by Sven Ewert. The author tells how the design evolved and was announced by Uno Söderberg, the director of the Postverkets Frankoteckensexpedition för Samlere (PFFS or Postal Service Office for Stamps for Collectors).

Although first day covers are known for earlier Swedish stamps, this was the first time that a special first day cancel was provided for the occasion. Renhuldt studied the first day covers

of this issue, including variet-ies of the registration labels for those covers that were registered and varieties of a handstamp in Swedish and English applied to the covers that identifies them as FDCs. He shows various combi-nations of the label varieties and hand stamp varieties. One cover

lacks the handstamp and was sent to the town of Lützen in Germany where it received a commemorative pictorial backstamp.

In addition to the Stockholm 1 first day cancel, there are FDCs with the stamps tied by the smaller PFFS circle dater. First day unofficial cancels are also known from Malmö (air mail postmark) and Göteborg.

A few days after the first day of issue, more commemorative cards and covers were cancelled November 6, 1932, the actual anniversary of Gustav Adolf ’s death 300 years earlier. Again there are event covers with varieties of the reg-istry label as well as a new hand stamp noting Gustaf Adolf ’s Day, November 6, 1932. Renhuldt shows a variety of event items, using picture postcards, printed postcards announcing stamp club meetings, and the postcard an-nouncement of the stamp released by the PFFS as publicity.

Other varieties of the first day and event covers are franking with a com-plete or partial set of the four values, and sometimes including the 4-sided perforated format, from booklets, of the lower two values (10- and 15-öre).

Book Reviews


In his research on this issue, the author discovered two covers bearing registra-tion labels with the same 4-digit regis-try number, but sent to two different addressees!

An appendix lists the registered first day covers examined by Renhuldt showing the registry label number, the number of stamps on each cover, and the destination city. A bibliogra-phy concludes this lovely but detailed monograph of an important set of stamps in Swedish philately and their use on first day and event covers.

Filatelistisk Årbok [Philatelic Year-book] for the years 2003–2010, ed-ited by Trygve Karlsen. Published 2010 by Norsk Filatelistforbund, Oslo, Norway. Each book 160 pages, 5¾ by 8¼ inches, perfect bound, card covers, in Norwegian. Avail-able for $16, $18, or $21 each (de-pending on year), plus shipping, from Jay Smith & Associates, Box 650, Snow Camp NC 27349 or www.jaysmith.com.These annual volumes are quite dif-

ferent from the American Philatelic Congress Books, the Swedish postal museum’s Postryttaren, and Finland postal museum’s Tabellarius. Those three hardbound books contain origi-nal articles. The Norwegian yearbooks are annual anthologies of a selection of articles that appeared during the pre-vious year, mostly in Norwegian phila-telic journals but occasionally taken from a Norwegian national exhibition catalog. Thus, a wide variety of topics is to be expected.

Some years ago the articles were simply reproduced from their sources

and cut-and-pasted into the book with different typefaces. Now they are re-produced in quality versions with the original illustrations and in a consis-tent standard format so that the collec-tion is more like a handbook. Several characteristics are common to each yearbook. Pictorial cancellations that were used for special events during the year are reproduced, and the new stamp issues that were released are shown in color along with data like Norgeskatalogen number, denomina-tion, designer, printing method, format (sheet, booklet, etc.), and the printing firm.

Beginning in 2005 several of the articles appear in color, but black-and-white is used largely throughout. The table of contents in each volume lists the article titles as they appear on num-bered pages (1–160). A list of authors in alphabetical order as well as a list of journal sources helps one to find a specific article. Each article begins with the citation to its original source. Some 20–30 articles will be found in each yearbook.

Collectors of Norway material will find something of interest in each year-book. Articles pertain to a wide vari-ety of subjects: ship and railway mail, postal history of a town or region, boy scout cancels, mail for the blind, pre-adhesive covers, revenues, paque-bot marks, military mail, topical sub-jects, air balloon mail, the changes to Norway postal service logos over the years, occasional articles on Denmark and Danish West Indies, Hindenburg crash mail, and cinderellas among myriad topics.

The sources include postal history


and military postal history journals, regional or major club journals, the-matic collectors journal, maritime mail magazine, exhibition catalogs, Olympic and sports collectors journal, and many others. A collection of these yearbooks provides a diverse selection of articles for general collectors as well as specialists.

Catalog: Volume II — ANCS Crews, USCS Chapters & Study Groups, com-piled and edited by Robert D. Rawlins. Published by the Universal Ship Cancellation Society, Inc., Healdsburg CA. Stiff covers, punched for 3-hole binder, 322 pages, 8½ by 11 inches. Available for $50 (Hard Copy) post-paid in USA, $80 abroad; $40 (CD) postpaid USA, $45 elsewhere. Prices for USCS members slightly lower. Ordering details from USCS Treasurer, P.O. Box 981, Healdsburg CA 95448 USA or www.uscs.org.

Volume I of this catalog appeared in 1988 with cross references updated in 1997. It is an alphabetical listing by cachet maker for naval cachets made by individuals and organization, and is still in print. This new volume focuses on two groups that spawned cachets for naval covers. The American Naval Cancellation Society (ANCS) was formed in 1935 and was comprised of geographical Crews that were clus-tered around a major city such as San Diego, Pittsburgh, Chicago, Detroit, etc. The Universal Ship Cancellation Society (USCS) was founded in 1932 and is composed of Chapters that are also geographically located and Study Groups.

The ANCS had little central orga-nization and left the Crews to do their own thing, although a newsletter was circulated to members. In the first sec-tion of this catalog, the ANCS Crews are listed with officers and cachet di-rectors, and some examples of the ca-chets made by them are identified and shown in color where possible. Old newsletters and other sources were used to compile these listings.

The printing method is identified — such as thermographed, hand stamped, mimeographed, etc. — the date of the cover, and the event that was celebrated by the cachet. One of the more prolific cover producers was the Argonauts Crew of submariners. They produced scores of cacheted covers between 1935 and 1946. By 1948, however, the activ-ity of the ANCS had pretty much pe-tered out.

In contrast, the USCS was estab-lished in 1932 and has had a strong central management as well as ac-tive chapters around the country. The


USCS developed more than 100 chap-ters over the years and is still very ac-tive today. The bulk of the catalog is devoted to the chapters’ production of covers. Again, the covers are listed with date and event and method of printing. A few examples of cachets are shown in color for each chapter.

Some chapters were (are) much more active than others in cover pro-duction. For example, the Stephen Decatur Chapter No. 4 in Philadelphia has produced more than 2,000 ca-cheted covers between 1933 and the present. While only twenty-two cov-ers are illustrated, the descriptions for all covers will help collectors identify them. The lists are not complete for the chapter covers as again they are drawn from archives and scattered records as well as individual collectors; however, they are as complete as can be expected unless new covers are located and iden-tified.

Information provided for each chapter includes date of founding, list of organizing members, cachet director and cachet artists, and other historic data. A glossary of terms and abbre-viations used in the catalog is provided as well as an alphabetical index to the names of the Crews/Chapters. Credit for the compilation of both Volumes I and II of the catalogs goes largely to the indefatigable Robert D. Rawlins who researched many sources and individu-als to prepare these tools for the study of naval cachets.


4 Rings: The History of Audi by Peter C. Elias. Produced in 2011 by the Author, in the USA. CD-ROM, 858 pages. Available for $17.45 postpaid in U.S. and $19.95 worldwide from www.audiphilately.webs.com.

Peter Elias had a display division philatelic exhibit related to the Audi


automobile that was shown some years ago. He also produced earlier versions of this CD and has now expanded it to include not only philatelic material but also ephemera such as advertisements, picture postcards, cigarette cards, matchboxes, stock certificates, and other paper goods. The CD has been shown in literature competitions over the years as well.

The format is a flip-book, i.e., you can click on the right-hand page to proceed to the next double-page of this video book. An introduction page gives operating instructions including the ability to jump to different chapters using marginal tabs. Unfortunately, the table of contents is found on page 823.

The first 288 pages comprise the philatelic aspects of the story with the use of postage stamps, poster stamps, meter stamps, maximum cards, souve-nir sheets, and right up to the present with photo stamps from Zazzle.com.

The story of Audi is told chronological-ly with these mate-rials divided into chapters related to different manufac-turing firms that have some bearing on the subject. One problem is that some of the firms appear to have their own chapter, but then items re-lated to them ap-pear suddenly in later chapters.

The story begins with the chapter on the firm NSU,

which was founded in 1873. However, the author does not define the mean-ing of these letters and we guess from some of the stamp images that it is the Neckarsulmer company. The next firm is the Wanderer Werke established in 1885. Its story is told with philatelic images related to their bicycles, mo-torcycles, and automobiles. The firm ceased operation in 1931.

The next chapter is about August Horch, who founded the business that eventually became the present day Audi firm. He recognized the need for luxury autos but left the original firm over a dispute in 1909 and started the actual Audi firm. In the next chapter on the DKW firm and its motorcycles and cars we begin to jump around with the image of a Gambia stamp depicting a Horch car. In the section marked KdF (for Kraft durch Freude or “Strength through Joy”), NSU is again mentioned


as well as a discussion on Porsche and Volkswagen.

The Auto Union is prominently mentioned in one section, but pops up again in other chapters. Several stamps with its racing cars are shown. In 1998 Audi acquired the Italian firm Lamborghini. Clearly, what is lacking is a narrative thread that ties all of these subjects and firms into the story itself.

The next section begins with mis-cellaneous Audi-related paper items like posters, postcards, first day cov-ers, trial color proofs, a comic strip, cinderella labels, and even some rather interesting postal history such as a cen-sored cover from Istanbul to NSU in Germany in 1942. Following this sec-tion is a selection of advertisements for Audi, although many are lacking dates and sources of publication. The sec-tion on cigarette cards (more than 100 of them) is fascinating, but there is no caption information on date or source except to identify the brand of automo-bile.

The section depicting postal cards of China has no English language cap-tions. A chapter on “Quartett Cards” does not tell us what these are or what purpose they served. A wonderful se-ries of telephone cards, issued by many different countries, depicts Audis and related cars. A miscellaneous section includes matchboxes and their covers, a window sales sticker for a new Audi, pins, a money clip, and ends up with a certificate presented by the Audi firm to author Peter Elias for driving one of their cars more than 310,000 miles over a period of twenty years.

A brief bibliography includes sev-eral pertinent websites. A link to an

“index” brings up what is actually a table of contents with increasing pagi-nation numbers, not an alphabetical subject index. However, on pages 845 to 857 there is a real alpha index with links that take you directly to the spe-cific page.

The illustrations are in color and quite striking. The “book” is an obvious labor of love for author Elias. However, it could be improved for the next edi-tion with a narrative summary of the Audi story up front, and brief captions on those pages lacking such informa-tion.

For cost else-where, direct inquiries to Graham Mark, Oast House West, Golden Hill, Wiveliscombe, Surrey TA4 2NT, United Kingdom.This new edition of World War II

censorship devices of the British West Indies and the Falkland Islands has been updated and issued in a separate book. The eighteen colonies are listed alphabetically from Antigua to Turks & Caicos Islands. A list of censor sta-tion letter codes for the U.K. and its colonies and dominions appears at the


front of the book to help identify where censor devices were used.

For each colony the listing of the censor handstamps, labels, and manu-script markings includes catalog num-ber, an illustration of the mark, the dimensions in millimeters, the color, and in many cases the earliest and lat-est known use. The known printed or manuscript censor and examiner num-bers are noted for the devices. Each colony listing ends with a scarcity table (1 to 10, with 10 being the scarcest) and often one or more covers showing how the devices were used.

The sections on Bermuda, Jamaica, and Trinidad & Tobago are fairly large, reflecting the volume of mail that passed through these stations. Special marks are included such as postal per-mits, currency control in Barbados, condemned/release mail of Bermuda, and some forms and memoranda. Appendices include a major extract from the Official History of the Postal and Telegraph Censorship Department

1938–1946 from the National Archives of the U.K. A bibliography at the front of the book will lead readers to further sources of censorship information.

The black-and-white illustrations are quite good and aid collectors in identification of the markings. The spiral binding permits the book to lie flat for useful study. The author ac-knowledges members in other spe-cialty societies who helped to make this a thoroughly updated resource. Collectors of Second World War cen-sored mail that passed through the British colonies in the western hemi-sphere will need this book and its companion volume on Canada and Newfoundland (Section 7).


British Empire Civil Censorship De-vices, World War II: Section 7 — Canada & Newfoundland, edited by Peter C. Burrows. Published 2010 by Civil Censorship Study Group, USA and United Kingdom. Card

The previous edition by Chris Miller included other countries in the west. The Canada and Newfoundland por-tion was separated, revised and ex-panded in this new edition by Peter Burrows. The book is essentially an il-lustrated catalog of the censorship de-vices used during World War II. Each marking has a catalog number and brief description, the size in millime-ters, and the color(s) known.

The listing begins with cachets of the Censorship Division, Censorship

Office, Examination Division, as well as Forces cachets and miscellaneous cachets. Earliest and latest known use dates are sometimes listed as well as censor numbers of particular examin-ers. An important feature is that each cachet is illustrated to enable easier identification. A table indicates relative scarcity using a scale of 1 to 10, where the “10” means that the item is worth about forty times the value of a “1.” Single sightings are also marked “10.”

Similar treatment is given to labels of the Censorship and Examination Divisions. A separate table indicates the geographic location of censors and examiners by their numbers. Various memoranda and forms are listed and their illustrations are critical to iden-tifying them for collectors. Some of the forms were inserted in the corre-spondence envelopes. Memoranda in-clude confidential items released by the Directorate of Censorship. Stationery is also listed and all of these items are


valued at 10 points.The next section is devoted to ca-

chets and forms used in the examina-tion of POW and internee mail. This is followed by a section on the Foreign Exchange Control Board, again itemiz-ing cachets, labels, forms, and postmas-ter handstamps. These are categorized by the towns and cities where they were known to be used. Again, scarcity ta-bles give some idea of how common or rare these devices are.

A final section covers Newfoundland and Labrador, since they were a sepa-rate crown colony until several years after the war. Handstamps, labels, and memoranda are listed along with a ta-ble indicating location of censors and examiners by number. Appendices in the book include excerpts from govern-ment documents, a list of censorship personnel that has been reconstructed and therefore lacks some dates, and additional notes on censorship to help collectors to understand how surveil-lance was conducted.

Some covers are shown in black and white and scattered throughout the text. A few are shown in color on the front and back covers of the book. It is nice to see this section updated and issued separately for the collector of Canada and Newfoundland World War II censored mail.


Return to Sender: Devices Used to Identify Service Suspended Mails During WWII, by Michael Deery. Published 2011 by the Author. Card covers, spiral bound, 8½ by 11 inches, 262 pages, Canada ISBN 0-9869145. Available for $25 post-paid in the USA, $30 Canada, $40

abroad from Michael Deery, RR3 Stn Main, Wallaceburg, Ontario N8A 4K9, Canada.

Within the general subject of mail marked for return to sender during the Second World War the author in-cludes mail that was held, interrupted, suspended, or delayed due to war ac-tivities. The various devices include labels, inserts or forms, machine can-cels, handstamped markings, manu-script notations and memoranda. The suspended mail service occurred at the point of origin, while in transit by an-other country, or at the intended des-tination.

The markings are illustrated with scans, not in the original size, and sometimes touched up with graphic software for clarity. Quite a few ex-amples are shown with scanned cov-ers. The devices are listed in several broad categories: generic ones that im-ply suspended mail service, British Commonwealth, United States, and worldwide devices. No attempt is made to assign values or relative scarcity. Extensive commentary or background information is provided throughout the book to aid understanding of the conditions at the time.

The listings include earliest and lat-est recorded dates where known, the number of examples examined by the author, and identification based on the type of device and country. The coun-tries are indicated with a two-letter code from an International Standards Organization listing, ISO-3166. The first section of generic devices includes pointing finger handstamps, “returned to sender” or “retour a l’envoyeur” or “returned to sender by censor” de-


vices. Country devices shown here are from Australia, Ceylon, France, Great Britain, and the United States.

Section 2 deals with markings of the British Commonwealth (Australia, Burma, Canada, Great Britain, India, New Zealand, etc.). Using Australia markings as examples, the handstamps contain wording such as undeliverable, not transmissible, or delivery impracti-cable. Specific items are shown (mail to Sweden, Java, Singapore, New Guinea) and the accompanying text identifies, when possible, the cities in Australia where the devices were used.

The third section of Deery’s book focuses on suspended mail services of the United States and the Canal Zone. Two dozen handstamp devices are shown along with the machine cancels and several manuscript mark-ings. Statistical data is provided on the many covers examined. Some unusual examples are described, including a cover sent from the Belgian Congo to France where it was marked for return and went via New York (another return to sender, service suspended applied there) back to Belgian Congo. In many cases covers had origins and destina-tions outside the United States but were routed via the U.S. and hence marked for suspended service and return.

The final section deals with sus-pended mail and return services in other countries of Europe, Central and South America, and Asia. Here the author recognizes he is nowhere near complete in his coverage as new examples are reported frequently. One appendix lists unidentified markings for which the author seeks additional information. Another appendix lists

the cover illustrations by origin and intended destination. A bibliography of print and Internet sources concludes the book.

Deery has undertaken an enormous project of interest to collectors of spe-cific auxiliary markings during war-time and admits that more discoveries will add to this ongoing project.


The Collectors Guide to Collecting GB Definitive First Day Covers: The Pre Decimal Issues 1840–1970, by Tony Buckingham. Published 2010 by Buckingham Covers, Folke-stone, Kent, U.K. Soft covers, saddle stitched, 5¾ by 8¼ inches, 48 pages. Available for £5.00 plus shipping from Buckingham Covers, Warren House, Shearway Road, Folkestone, Kent CT19 4BF, United Kingdom.The booklet begins with an over-

view of the famous Penny Black issued May 6, 1840. The problem for collectors is the existence of a number of forged covers, due in part to the availability of early date cancellers. This price list or guide assumes the appearance of a catalog with numbers assigned that are not based on Gibbons. For example the first two entries, designated FD001 and FD002, are for the Plate 1 and Plate 3 of the bantam half penny issued October 1, 1870.

In addition to definitive postage stamps, this guide includes postal sta-tionery, such that the third and fourth entries are for the small and large for-mats of the half penny postal cards re-leased the same date. Various jubilee postal cards and envelopes of 1890 are listed with illustrations of special picto-rial cancels and cachets. The half penny


blue green issued April 17, 1900 is also known with April 16 postmarks.

The guide continues chronological-ly with the 1902 King Edward VII and 1911 King George V issues. In 1912 an experimental machine was designed to accept a one penny coin followed by the sender’s letter, which was imprinted to indicate postage paid. Although the device was rejected by the GPO, covers with the introductory date of January 25 survive. The 1914 postage dues are also known on FDC and are listed.

The guide continues with the 1930s photogravure definitives, the King Edward VIII issues and the wartime Guernsey bisects and the Jersey arms definitives. The QE II stamps and postal stationery, the introduction of phosphor tagging, the regional defini-tives of 1964, and the 1967–69 Machins including booklets and se-tenant strips conclude the guide.

This “catalog” is similar to the Brookman price guides in the United States in that they represent retail values but serve as a structured list-ing (cataloging) of the issues, albeit in the latter example the Scott number-ing system is used. The author needs a good copy-editor as the introduc-tory page and sections of the booklet have run-on sentences with little or no punctuation.


The Collectors Guide (to First Day Covers) of the Sterling Issues 1924–1970, by Tony Buckingham. Pub-lished 2010 by Buckingham Covers, Folkestone, Kent, U.K. Soft covers, saddle-stitched, 4¾ by 8¼ inches, 48 pages. Available for £5.00 plus shipping from Buckingham Cov-

ers, Warren House, Shearway Road, Folkestone, Kent CT19 4BF, United Kingdom.

This booklet cannot be considered a catalog as no numbers are assigned to the various stamp issues. Instead the format is to list an issue and provide values (presumably retail sales values) based on a few different known cancels and envelope types. The first entry is the British Empire Exhibition of 1924 issued April 23rd that year. The stamps were available the first day only at the exhibition and so the five special post-marks used there are described. In ad-dition to valuing the different cancels (some are much scarcer than others) the listing includes an undefined ref-erence to “on Harmers Display cover” and “Hand painted covers.” No expla-nation is given as to whether the last item means contemporary hand paint-ed or add-on cachets of some years lat-er. The postal stationery items released for the exhibition are also listed.

The next issue is the 1925 Wembley Exhibition stamps of 1925 in two val-ues. The author cautions against forg-eries of first day covers prepared with mint stamps and “postmarks.” The postal stationery for the 1925 exhibi-tion is also listed. The next issues are for the UPU Congress in 1929 and prices shown are for FDCs of the four lower values. The high value, the £1, is much scarcer on first day cover, run-ning about £8,000 to £9,000 depending on the cancellation. Covers with the complete set are also known.

Illustrated (cacheted) covers be-come more prevalent in the 1930s so that the value listings include both plain envelopes and illustrated ones.


The latter are much more valuable. However, there is no attempt to indi-cate who the cachet producers were at the time. The 1937 Coronation stamp is known with a number of different can-cellations and those on cacheted covers are worth far more than plain envelope FDCs. More than 100 different cachets are known for this issue, but there is no listing of them. FDCs are also known and valued for stamps of this period that were overprinted for the Tangier and Morocco agencies.

Phosphor tagging of commemo-ratives began with the National Productivity set in 1962. For the next five years stamps were issued in both tagged and non-tagged versions. Hence the FDC listings for the stamps issued over this period show values for both types, and even both types on one cover. The 1964 Shakespeare Festival issue is known with several different special postmarks including an Army Field Post Office 1050 marking. The

standard CDS with “First Day of Issue” was also introduced with this set.

The subsequent issues are listed chronologically and end with the November 27, 1970 Christmas set, af-ter which the decimal issues came into use. In 1963 the GPO decided to issue its own envelopes and postmarks and such covers went against the grain of many collectors. However, privately produced cacheted covers were still made and eagerly sought after by col-lectors. About this time the Post Office permitted organizations to sponsor special postmarks for which a fee was paid. This increased the variety of post-marks available on the day of issue and served to attract collectors.

The special cancellations are usually shown in black and white throughout the guide and a few cacheted FDCs are illustrated in color. The author dis-cusses the desirability of autographed covers. He also points out that the Philatelic Bureau produced covers are unlikely to increase in value. The rarer


FDCs, even in the 1940s and 1950s, are subject to forgeries so buyers must be aware of what they purchase. Another observation by the author is that cov-ers with hand written addresses sell for 60% less. Collectors prefer unad-dressed covers or ones prepared with peelable address labels.

By not properly proofreading his text or using a copy editor, the author does himself a disservice. The text pag-es at the end of the guide are rife with poor sentence structure and absence of punctuation. Here is just one example: “After the war special stamps were few and far between but in 1957 the GPO as it was then organised a massive op-eration for the Scout stamps but it was a false dawn the next issue for parlia-ment was an overprint on a normal 4d stamp most people missed it which is why it costs up to £100 today.”

United States computer vended post-age, the text is in the German language, quite likely due to its collecting popu-larity in Europe. However, despite the German language the catalog can be understood since the chapter headings use primarily English language words, the material is mostly of United States origin, and the profuse black-and-

white illustrations help identify the specific items.

The postage materials are divided into two broad categories — machine vended (ATM) labels and computer-generated labels. The labels are listed in catalog fashion with a number and values assigned for mint, used, on cover, and on first day cover if known. Values are shown in Euros. Following some forerunners, the catalog begins with the Strategic Financial Planning Systems Autopost introduced in 1989 at the Martin Luther King post office in Washington D.C. and the White Flint station in Kensington, Maryland. The classes of mail served included first and third class, priority, express mail, and parcel post.

Postage and Mailing centers (PMC) were established by ElectroCom Guard Corporation and Unisys. These de-vices generated water-based adhesive “stamps” with the red-and-blue shield design and the value imprint in black ink. In 1999 Automated Postal Centers (APC) were introduced by IBM-Neopost and NCR. Four years later the Wincor Nixdorf-IBM APC appeared with stamp and larger format self-ad-hesive labels, the latter bearing the par-tial address and zip barcode as supplied by the buyer.

By 2006 Pitney Bowes and NCR had introduced postal kiosks that de-livered labels resembling meter stamps. Pitney Bowes machines were also used by Britain’s Royal Mail and by Canada Post. All of these devices printed la-bels that had varieties in imprint and design, and the firms occasionally re-leased test specimens — all of them highly collectible.


Around 1999 the computer-gen-erated stamp labels came into being. Devices discussed here include the early ones like Neopost’s SnapStamps, Stamps.com’s NetStamps and Photo NetStamps, the Dymo printable postage, and Pitney Bowes’ Stamp Expressions. These are all dealt with in detail with known varieties and changing photo image. Some of these carried simple messages like “Thank You,” “Special Invitation,” and “We’re Moving.” Collectible varieties include marginal numbers, sheet layout de-signs, and fluorescent coatings. A small section of the book is also devoted to the stationery and similar items cre-ated by the Postal Buddy Corporation machines.

The labels are described by dimen-sions in millimeters and types of paper and adhesive used. Illustrations are excellent and mostly in the issued size of the labels. A bibliography appears at the end of the book that emphasizes the growing number of articles on this topic, including those in the journal of the Meter Stamp Society. The book lacks an index, but the catalog format and table of contents minimize the need for this tool.

For followers of the modern trend towards postage label generation, as opposed to traditional printed postage stamps, this handbook sets forth a ba-sic understanding of these new means to creating instant postage.

How Can I Use the Library?

What will the Library do for me?If you are a member of either the American Philatelic Research Library or the

American Philatelic Society, you can make direct use of library services. Nonmembers may access materials through interlibrary loan. Fees are charged for most services, to cover the library’s costs.

The APRL’s catalog is accessible on the Internet at www.stamps.org. Searching for titles, requesting materials, and research can be accomplished easily on the Web.

Most library services are provided by mail or e-mail. You contact us with requests for specific titles, or the library staff can provide a list of suggested titles in your area of interest. You may keep books for two weeks. The loan period begins on the estimated date you receive the book in the mail.

Photocopying or scanning service is available for most library materials, some of which do not circulate due to their rarity or fragility.

Library staffers will check and photocopy indexes and bibliographies for you, but do not have the time to undertake in-depth research.

What materials are available?The APRL has one of the world’s largest and most accessible collections of philatelic

literature. Library materials and services have been developed with you, the user, in mind.

The library has handbooks and catalogs, old and new, on the philatelic items of most countries. The APRL’s extensive range of journals represents a host of philatelic interests. Most materials are in English, but the library also has many books and jour-nals in other languages.

The library also has substantial holdings of auction catalogs, government publica-tions, dealer price lists, and special materials related to first day covers, U.S. stamp issues, and the history of the stamp collecting hobby.

What does it cost?Library fees offset the library’s cost of providing services. Please do not pay in

advance; a bill will be included with the materials/information requested.

per page for any photocopies or scans

page afterwards

Given the difficulty of locating specialized philatelic literature and the expense of purchasing books and journals, these fees constitute a philatelic bargain.

You may borrow up to five books at a time. All borrowed items must be returned using delivery confirmation. In some cases the library will ask you to have insurance coverage, but you will be notified on the invoice of any such requirements.
