http://lapostapub.com/La Posta - The Journal of American Postal History is now online. La Posta is an independent quarterly journal devoted exclusively to the subject of American postal history. The site offers free Featured Articles and 'Snapshots' along with ways to subscribe, order back issues, and buy postal history books. As time goes by, more free articles and features will be added.
Quote:
The journal was founded by Richard "Bill" Helbock in 1969 and has today been continuously produced for 50 years. Helbock, who retired to Australia, died in 2011 and Peter Martin was chosen to replace him as editor. Martin purchased La Posta Publications, which included the journal, from Helbock's widow in 2013.
La Posta is one of the few independent philatelic publications in North American and is the largest subscriber-based journal in that category. Each 64-page quarterly issue features a variety of the more than 50 different aspects of American postal history written by the leading postal history researchers, collectors, and dealers.
From town postal histories, Prexies, and expositions, to Civil War, auxiliary markings, modern contract stations and social philately you'll find a cornucopia of original research, new finds and detailed information about interesting and complex subjects not found anywhere else.
Disclaimer: I offered to help the postal history community and La Posta by developing the site pro bono; I have no commercial connection to the site. If anyone has any technical issues and/or sees any coding errors you can contact me directly and I will address the concern. For editorial or publication questions please contact Peter or Joan through the website.
