The APHA Newsletter
Four times a year APHA produces The APHA Newsletter, which features news of upcoming APHA events, reports of the activities of the national chapters, and other items of interest to printing historians. Until Number 171 (summer 2009) the newsletter was a printed publication, distributed by mail to all members of APHA.
Starting with Number 172 (fall 2009) the newsletter will only be available online in downloadable PDF format.
