OTHER AUSTRALIAN RESOURCES

The  regular Newsletters an bulletins of the Australian card collectors clubs and societies contain many articles and notes  which provide much helpful information about various cards and their publishers. Some back issues are available  through individual clubs.

ACS Yearbooks. There was a concerted effort to foster and publish substantial research on Australian and other cards in the late 1980s which resulted in the publication of number of excellent “Annual collections” by the Australian Cartophilic Society. Unfortunately these publications did not continue into the 1990s. To see several articles CLICK HERE
