This project, named as a homage to the "Mercury Stamp Journal" of the late Edwin Mueller, is a archive site for scholarly articles on various aspects of philately. Contributors are participants at Frajola's Board for Philatelists. The concept is to provide a place where articles can be archived, or previewed for peer review prior to possible additional publication in print, or material exhibited. Author guidelines are here. Please note that all files are in PDF format. Depending on the size of the individual file and your internet connection, these files may be difficult to open directly. I suggest right-clicking the link and downloading to your desktop where they may be more easily opened. |
