The following publications by PPHSGB members relate to Polar
Philately and can be obtained by the general public from the sources indicated.
Published privately by John Youle, editor
of Polar Post, in December 2001, this work is a compilation of all available information on the postmarks and cachets
used at the British Antarctic Bases and the Post Office on South Georgia, from 1909 to March 2001. The remaining copies are
being sold for the benefit of the PPHSGB and the Falkland Islands Philatelic Study Group. Members of both Societies made a
major contribution to the content. The
book was awarded a “Silver” certificate in the literature class at Autumn Stampex 2003. Postmark illustrations
from the book were incorporated in the design of the 2003 British Antarctic Territory definitive stamp issue entitled “Research
Bases and Postmarks”. Those
interested in purchasing the book should contact Trevor Cornford tiercey@yahoo.co.uk A 44-page addendum to the book (17th October
