Al supplied many of his exhibits and articles for posting on this website. After his passing, the MPHS has worked on a project to place scans of all available exhibits that he created on the website. This web page will be the electronic "Kugel Room", containing all known references to his work, including those items on the MPHS website.
As of 10 July 2026, we have 48 exhibits posted, containing just over 3,900 exhibit
pages. We estimate that all scanned exhibits will number about
8,000 pages. As each new exhibit is
processed it will be listed on this page.
An interactive Table of Contents (partially populated) is available for searching
the titles of the exhibits.

Note that some of the exhibits referenced from this page are marked "(B/W)". Those exhibit page scans were made from black and white photocopies of the original exhibits. Those exhibits were created by Al Kugel many years ago, and are presented here for historical and research purposes. As far as the MPHS is aware, there are no color scans available of these older exhibit pages, nor for any of the illustrated postal history items.
