The Informer has been published continuously since the Society was founded in 1936. In its current format, it is a quarterly publication comprising 28 full-color pages. Only original articles are accepted for publication. The Informer does not knowingly reprint articles from other journals unless the article has been updated or rewritten for our audience.
We accept articles relating to Australasian or Pacific philately including new discoveries, analysis and synthesis of philatelic data, philatelic items of note (favorite cover, interesting cancellation, and the like), and thematic subjects; as well as news about members’ achievements and awards, website reviews, resource tools for research, and book reviews on relevant subjects or important events.
The Informer is the primary benefit for many members, and our editorial policy tries to include items of interest to a wide range of philatelic interests and differing levels of collecting. As much as possible, The Informer tries to cover the geographic areas of interest in proportion to the interests of our members – of course our success in this depends upon members’ efforts to write articles for the journal
