In celebration of Canada’s sesquicentennial, the American Philatelic Society (APS) has released the July issue of its monthly journal, The American Philatelist, online for free.
Typically, the journal is only available to APS members (archival issues are available online along with the current digital issue).
The American Philatelist is the oldest continuously published philatelic journal in the world with its first issue published 130 years ago, in January 1887. All articles are written by APS members and feature colourful illustrations.
