Every month, about 30,000 readers look forward to settling in with one of their favorite publications, The American Philatelist. It is the oldest continuously published philatelic journal in the world, the first issue having appeared in January 1887.

This Special Recognition issue notes all of the society's members who have helped the American Philatelic Society and APRL sustain and grow. The APS and library are grateful for all of the donations of money, material, time, work efforts and expertise received over the past year. Join Jeff Stage, Senior Editor, as he walks you through some of the exciting philatelic stories that will be present in the April issue.
