      This page lists updates/suggestions submitted to the APRL for updating the AFDCS Archives Folder List that they created and first published on their website in May 2025. The American Philatelic Research Library (APRL) has housed our AFDCS Archives since 1981 (#150-32) in State College, PA, and since 10-29-2016 in Bellefonte, PA (#431-10). Each Cachetmaker and Cachet Line (aka tradename) has one or more separate pocket folders that contains material that has been submitted by members since the AFDCS was founded in 1955. As of 5-20-2025 there are about 2,300 folders on the 52 pages of the APRL's list.

      APRL photos have been moved to a new page: AFDCS Archives at the APRL

      Maybe someday, but currently, there is no direct link to the AFDCS Archives Folder List, and it cannot be viewed on their website. It can only be downloaded to your personal device. To find the PDF, follow these steps: 1) Click on the link below, 2) Click on the "Electronic Resources" button, 3) Download the PDF.

      Work-in-progress: I am slowly indexing every folder on the "AFDCS Archives Folder List" at: Philatelic Birth Dates, Index and Links with the note: "APRL folder".

replacement text
(2) = the wording in the second column
