The Military Postal History Society Journal and Monograph Downloads

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

In addition, the Society has published monographs available only to members. Accessing these types of members-only resources is treated the same throughout.

THE LATEST JOURNAL is available at this link

ALL RELEASED MONOGRAPHS are described at this link
  [Follow the link above to view information about, and location of, the monographs published by the Military Postal History Society.]

Password Required!

The files referenced from this page, the monograph page, as well as certain back issues of the Journal, are PRIVATE to members only, and should not be redistributed. Each quarter, when a new Journal 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. It is STRONGLY RECOMMENDED that you keep a copy of the password for the current quarter, in case you wish to access other member-only material on our website.

PDF Formats

Please Note: Some of the files offered here 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 document 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.

Based on previous practice, we offer a FULL-quality PDF file of the Journal, 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.
