Welcome to the fourth issue of our RMSG Newsletter. My apologies for the delay, life occasionally gets in the way of these fun projects.
Again, we have added a few new subscribers. To make the future Newsletter more interesting, we want to encourage either short contributions, or suggestions for topics to be presented, from our readers. This issue has again a few new, short notes, and I retained many of the original sections from the previous issues with resource information as they may be of interest to new subscribers.
Several readers provided me with examples of previously unreported registered covers with the New York exchange
labels mentioned in the Research Notes section of the previous issue. Thank you for the new information.
I envision two types of collaborative project activities in the future. On the large-scale side, there will be several group
or “Community Research” projects that will provide a focal point to accumulate information about subject areas that are too broad or complex to be researched and managed properly by a single individual, or which will be of interest to many collectors. On a smaller and individual scale, I hope that the Newsletter can serve as a facilitator to get the word out to all members that another member has a personal registry system research interest, and he would like to receive information about covers or documents related to that interest.
If you have a special project that you would like to share, please consider preparing a short one-page summary and
please send it along for inclusion in our next issue of the Newsletter
All issues of the Registered Mail Study Group Newsletter can be found under the “Resources” menu.
