The APRL Has Digitized Our Bulletins!
All of our bulletins dating from 1974 to present have been scanned and digitized by the staff at the American Philatelic Research Library. You can go to the Robert A. Mason Digital Library and find them under the "Journals" category and then use the search key "JAPOS." See the images below. The first image shows the search parameters to use and the second image shows results. Click on the JAPOS edition you want and it will appear as a PDF on your screen.
When you click on the "Show More" button, you should not assume the issue years are in correct chronological order, because they are not. Knowing this will help you look carefully for the year you want. Also, when printing a bulletin, you may want to experiment with the size. The editor often gets better results with a 125% setting.
We Have an Index
Before now (July 2025), we had an index maintained by Joyce Poole as a Microsoft Excel spreadsheet. For the past several months, Cynthia Scott has been building a new one in Microsoft Access. Soon, it will be exported and formatted to meet the standards set by the American Philatelic Research Library and then sent to them for online use by everyone.
Until then, you can request a tailored list from Cynthia. Contact her at study.japos@gmail.com and describe what you would like to have in hand when searching the Robert A. Mason Digital Library for particular JAPOS bulletins.
