The Philatelic Journal
In addition to books, there are a great number of philatelic journals. The first stamp magazine was the Monthly Intelligencer from Birmingham, England, followed shortly by many others. The journals and newsletters of clubs and societies also have an important role in philatelic literature. Many journals only run for a few numbers and then cease but they often contain information found nowhere else and therefore are valuable sources for philatelists.
Some popular philatelic periodicals are:
- The American Philatelist - worldwide topics with a focus on USA
- Canadian Stamp News - worldwide topics with a focus on Canada
- Deutsche Briefmarken Zeitung (Germany)
- Gibbons Stamp Monthly (UK) - worldwide topics with a focus on Great Britain and the British Commonwealth
- Linn's Stamp News (USA) - worldwide topics with a focus on USA

Famous quotes containing the word journal:
“Unfortunately, many things have been omitted which should have been recorded in our journal; for though we made it a rule to set down all our experiences therein, yet such a resolution is very hard to keep, for the important experience rarely allows us to remember such obligations, and so indifferent things get recorded, while that is frequently neglected. It is not easy to write in a journal what interests us at any time, because to write it is not what interests us.”
—Henry David Thoreau (1817–1862)
