Grey, Bruce, Dufferin & Simcoe Postal History Study Group

The Grey, Bruce, Dufferin & Simcoe Postal History Study Group was founded in 1998 to research the postal institutions of the aforementioned counties. We emphasize the social aspect of the local post offices, but study all facets of postal history in the counties.

In the early years the quarterly publication was simply The GBD&S Newsletter, however beginning with issue 35 our newsletter name was changed to The Georgian Courier. We endeavour to publish a 20-page 8.5 x 11 inch newsletter printed in black and white. Beginning with Issue 44 we will also publish the newsletter in an electronic format in full colour. Members may subscribe to either the printed version at $15.00 for four issues mailed to your address, or the electronic version at $6.00 for four issues downloaded from the PHSC website. Subscribers will be notified when a new version is online. If you are philatelically interested in this area of Ontario we encourage you to explore with us. For further information contact editor Gus Knierim, knierim@bmts.com.
