  30-YEAR INDEX



PHILIPPINE PHILATELIC JOURNAL

We are extremely proud of our quarterly journal and it is the focal point, the heart, and vision of the IPPS and Philippine philately.  In 2005, we went to a full size format and the 3rd quarter of 2008 converted to full color.  Effective in 2009, an economic electronic only version membership was also inaugurated.  Fourth quarter, 2004, Don Peterson created a 30-year index of our publications to that date.  The link at the top left will take you to a 7MB PDF version of this 48-page index.  This index represents seven (7) Philippine eras and a dozen (12) collecting topics with an added miscellaneous category.  The following is a recapitulation of these eras and topics:
