Index to Volumes 1 - 14, 1993 - 2007
The Florida Postal History Society was established in 1978, but eventually died out from a lack of interest. The Society was restarted in 1991 and formally organized in 1992. The first issue of the Florida Postal History Journal was published in July 1993. While there were three issues during the first two years (1993-1994), there were two issues for the next seven years (1995-2001), and then three issues per year. It should be noted that for 1995, volume 2 issues were mis-numbered 3-4 but are the only two issues for that year. David G. Phillips was editor for the first two issues and Deane R. Briggs has been editor since the third issue. Regional editors include Niles Schuh, Herbert P. McNeal, Ted Light, and David Lingard.
This index covers the black and white era for the Florida Postal History Journal. Beginning with volume 15 in 2008 the Journal is printed in color.
