The Military Postal History Society Bulletin Downloads

This page points to copies of the Bulletin of the Military Postal History Society that are available online for download solely by members of the Society.

THE LATEST BULLETIN is available at this link

THE RECENTLY RELEASED MONOGRAPH #1 is available at this link

In addition to the Bulletins, from time to time, we offer Advance Previews of Upcoming Bulletin Articles to our members.

The files referenced from this page, the articles linked from the "Staging" page, as well as certain back issues of the Bulletin, are PRIVATE to members only, and should not be redistributed. Each quarter, when a new Bulletin is issued, members who have access to electronic copies will receive a private email, specifying the username and password required to access those documents for that quarter ONLY.

Note that Bulletin back issues from 1937 to 2017 are now open to the general public. See: the General Index page for more information.

Please Note: Some of the Bulletin files are Adobe Acrobat format (PDF). PDF files tend to have relatively large file sizes. They may take a long time to download if you have a slow internet connection. Instead of clicking directly on the link to view the Bulletin online, you may wish to right click the link and save the file to your computer, phone, or tablet, for viewing or printing later on. If you do not have the Acrobat Reader program installed, click on the icon below to do so. The reader program is free.

We are returning to a process we used a few years ago. There will be a FULL-quality PDF file of the Bulletin, along with a much smaller file, but of lower quality (when available). It is recommended that you download and use the largest-sized file that you can afford. For many members, the lower-quality PDF file may be quite sufficient for computer-based viewing.

For more information about downloading and viewing PDF files, see the PDF information page.
