A remarkable milestone: the January 2026 edition of the American Philatelist, the monthly journal of the American Philatelic Society (APS), marks its 1,500th issue. For the record, No. 1 appeared in 1887, No. 500 in 1942, and the impressive 196-page No. 1,000 in May 1984.
Editor-in-Chief Susanna Mills notes that 2026 will also be a landmark year for the APS, which will celebrate its 140th anniversary. The year further coincides with the 250th anniversary of the United States and what promises to be one of the decade’s major philatelic events—the Boston 2026 World Expo.
Congratulations!

BOSTON 2026 World Expo is offering a variety of promotional sponsorships to individuals, organizations and businesses. Many involve signage opportunities, small and large, throughout the show floor, including the various regional pavilions and the Minuteman Club.
Event sponsorships are also available. These include the Palmares Award Banquet and the Vernissage show preview, where sponsors will gain the greatest exposure to the most prominent philatelists from around the world. Beer, wine, coffee, iced tea and water sponsorships at various show locations are available as well.
Logo opportunities abound, whether on award medal boxes, dinner menus or the show catalog cover. All sponsorships will receive prominent recognition on the show website, in the show catalog and on our social media.
Mark Butterline, Boston 2026 Executive Director, is coordinating all sponsorships and welcomes inquiries at Mark.Butterline@Boston2026.org. The current sponsorship list can be found on the Sponsorship webpage on www.Boston2026.org. Do note that the organizers are also open to sponsorship ideas beyond the preliminary list.
2025 proved a great success for the Great Britain Philatelic Society (GBPS), which continues as the leading Society for collectors of GB stamps and postal history with over 850 members in the UK and across the world.
As usual the season kicked off in September with a display of County Postal History with Stephen Teuma leading the way with an excellent collection of Suffolk. September continued with a display at Stampex of Machins by Nigel Perrins. October saw a joint meeting with the Channel Islands Philatelic Society which was well attended with a wide range of material on show.
The year concluded with the usual Christmas Reception at Stanley Gibbons in December where members showed parts of their diverse collections. Maurice Buxton also provided a display of the Pools and the Post by Zoom in December.
