New Postmark Reports
Here's what's new!
For many years, Bob Smith has faithfully worked on the Ontario broken circle listings, recording new finds in the database, and reporting on new items in the Journal. These tasks have been passed on to other keen members in recent months. We've decided to keep up the task of highlighting new finds, and we will record them here on the website. Gus Knierim has graciously offered to organize this for us. Please send any new reports, with a scan, to him by email.

This past month we have added a cds database for the District of Nipissing. Without your input these databases do not function, so please submit new dates, early or late; new postmarks. We thank you all for your contributions.
Much new work has been done by Brian Copeland on Manitoba broken circles, and Rob Leigh has been working on early New Brunswick markings.
Thanks to Frank Wheeler we can report
