Example ATA Checklist.

ATA Checklists

When members decide to collect a topic, or want to update their own list of stamps related to a topic they collect, they usually have to peruse every catalog page, country by country, seeking to find additional stamps for their collections. The ATA offers its members the substantial benefit of providing checklists on more than 550 topics, saving many hours of research for a very low price.

Costs for the checklists are 20 cents per page. Please provide your ATA member number when ordering. Checklists come in two forms:

• Emailed in Excel format.
• Hard copy sent by postal mail. There is no charge for postage but donations are appreciated.

Checklists are a member-to-member service which depends on volunteers to maintain it. The ATA does not imply that these checklists are complete or error free. They are intended to be a starting point for collectors.

Members are encouraged to

• Send errors or omissions
• Update an existing list
• Create a new list, no matter how large or small
• Edit lists that are submitted by others

Please contact the ATA Office to place an order, ask a question, or find out more about serving as a volunteer in this checklist service: americantopical@msn.com or to PO Box 8, Carterville, IL 62918-0008

Checklists are the property of ATA, intended for use by members only. They are copyrighted and are not to be copied except by the ATA Office. Portions of a checklist may be used as part of a philatelic article or column if credit is given and a copy of the publication is sent to the American Topical Association.
