PUBLICATIONS

BNAPS provides its members with two periodic publications: its journal "BNA Topics" and its newsletter "BNAPortraitS". BNAPS also encourages the publication of books on specialized BNA philatelic subjects and exhibits through the Publications Committee. More information about all of these is provided below.

BNA Topics

BNA Topics, the official journal of BNAPS, is published quarterly and is mailed free to BNAPS members. Each issue, which averages 80 pages, is packed with more information, original articles and continuing columns about BNA philately than any other journal.

Stamps, covers, postmarks, postal history, philatelic news, book reviews ... they are all there for your reading enjoyment. Each issue you receive will become an important part of your philatelic library.

Furthermore, editorial assistance is available to any BNAPS member who would like to become a published author. Chances are, if you are interested in writing about what you collect, others will want to read about it. For more about preparing articles, and the Tables of Content of current and a few previous issues of BNA Topics, click here.

In mid-October, 2004, we added a new web site that contains the contents of all TOPICS journals from the first issue in 1944 to all of the issues for 1999. This wonderful achievement, driven by member John Walsh, is known as "The Horace W. Harrison Online Library".
