The award winning official journal of the Society, The Czechoslovak Specialist, is in its 59th year of continuous publication - somewhat of a record for philatelic publications. It is designed to meet the needs of all collectors of philatelic material connected with Czechoslovak philately -- be they beginning collectors or advance students of philately exhibiting at the international level.

Published bi-monthly, the journal draws on a wide range of authors writing in several languages. While the editor prefers original articles, translations of the best articles covering our members' interests are translated to make them available in English. An up-to-date cross-index of this publication has been prepared to assist collectors with their philatelic research. Taken together, the past issues of The Czechoslovak Specialist form a virtual encyclopdia on Czechoslovak philately. Many past volumes are available to members for a modest fee.
