The Baltimore Philatelist is the official journal of the Baltimore Philatelic Society. It was first published in 1936 as bi-monthly newsletter. During World War II editions were scarce. After the war the editions gradually increased to a monthly publication. The size was 8.5" x 11." This size was continued until the May/June issue of 2002. The current editor changed the format to a smaller size and it is now published on a quarterly basis.

Each edition contains news of the Society, three (3) month calendar, BALPEX information and various other updates. In addition, there is plenty of philatelic articles just like those first issues in 1936. As alway, the editor is looking for material to publish. You do not have to be a Society member. Just let us know what you would like to publish via email: balpex@verizon.net or phone: 410.332.4741.

The Baltimore Philatelic Society is looking for a new location. When located in any large city parking soon becomes a major problem. The building was built in 1889, the same year the Society was founded, and as with any old building repairs is constant. Those factors plus several others led to the Board to begin to think about a move. Of course, major factures include where to find a new location and funding. Check back periodically to see what progress the Society has made.
