Membership Benefits Members of the Society receive the award-winning South Atlantic Chronicle, which the Society publishes in January, April, July, and October. The South Atlantic Chronicle is the official publication of the Society and, as such, it contains original philatelic articles written by members of the Society and others, news concerning the Society itself, and other articles in keeping with the objectives of the Society. Members also have exclusive access to the Society's Yahoo group. The Society has inaugurated an auction/mail bid sale program to assist members in the acquisition and/or dispersal of philatelic materials from St. Helena, Ascension, and Tristan da Cunha. Occasionally, philatelic items of other South Atlantic areas are included in the auction/mail bid sale program. Also, occasionally, the auction/mail bid sale includes interesting non-philatelic ephemera (maps, art, prints, small souvenir items, books, etc.). The Society is also prepared to manage the sale of major St. Helena, Ascension, and/or Tristan da Cunha philatelic properties by private treaty. We hope to make new services available to our members. In general, all
that is needed to implement a new service is to identify an individual
who is willing to volunteer to define how the service would operate and
to run it. If you would like to participate, join us and let the Society
President know of your ideas. Defining a service and seeing the project
through to its fruition can be an exhilarating and rewarding experience.
Along the way, you'll enjoy the fellowship of working with our members.
We hope that you will seriously consider joining us and participating at
the level which best suits you. We would welcome you as a member!

Membership Directory The Society compiles and publishes a Membership Directory annually.
The Membership Directory gives names and addresses of the members (unless
the Society has been advised not to publish the address of a member). In
addition, the members are grouped by collecting interests for those collecting
categories shared by at least 20 members. The Membership Directory is distributed
with the South Atlantic Chronicle.
