At Milcopex 2008 we will be hosting a multi-state postal history exhibiting competition in 2008. So please get those collections mounted and ready to go and spread the word to both collectors and dealers.
The WPHS had a great meeting September 15, 2007, at Milcopex and that there was some good discussion, show & tell and a few deals done on covers afterwards. We hope to see you there the next time or for those remote from Wisconsin to consider joining the WPHS. Darren Mueller gave a presentation on using fire insurance maps to research post office locations. The union lists of Sanborn maps list available maps for Wisconsin (cities A-L and M-Z) and their repositories. (Other states available elsewhere online).
