Convention archive

This is our latest project, which will eventually tell the entire story of our Annual General Meeting, and the card fair that slowly grew to accompany it.

We freely admit these are but bare bones, but they are at a point where we would really appreciate your help to start adding in material and memories. So if you know, or read any information that is not here, whether that is in vintage magazines, online, or anywhere else, please let us know – and if you have any archive material that you would be willing to scan for us. Many thanks in advance.

And let us all create an archive for future cartophilists to both enjoy, and be amazed at…
