NEW! Complete indexed archives of IPPS Journals are now available from the IPPS on CD!

The IPPS has digitized the Journals of the IPPS from the first issue on a series of 4 CD’s. These are available for sale from the IPPS at a price of US $60. plus shipping. Shipping within the USA is US $5.00, and will be $8.00 for shipment overseas. As all articles published in the Journal since the first issue are now available at one’s fingertips; this may be the most complete reference currently available for Philippine philately.

The CD’s are written in Adobe Acrobat pdf format, and have been indexed using the Adobe Acrobat Paper Capture indexing feature. To use the CD’s, one must have installed on one’s computer the free Adobe Acrobat Reader with a version number of at least 5.

To use the CD’s simply copy them to a folder on your hard drive, start Adobe Acrobat Reader, and point it at this folder. Using the “Search” command in Acrobat, one can search for any “keyword” that may be in ANY of the Journals i.e. Lambert, Victory, overprint, etc. Acrobat will take you to any and all occurances of the keyword in all journals.
