Myanmar Philatelic Society initiated publishing the brand new "The Burma StaMPS" journal quarterly in 2022. It is also the newsletter of the society. Ko Toe is the editor of the journal. The editor hopes Burmese language journal can attract new collectors to philately, and keep the society active. The Burma StaMPS Vol 1 (2022) won Silver Bronze medal at TAIPEI 2023.
Each issue has 20 pages and published in full color. The final issue of each year, released in October, serves as a captivating compilation of articles unified by a single theme. In the year 2022, the spotlight falls on "Bird Stamps," weaving together a tapestry of avian beauty depicted on stamps. In 2023, the focus shifts gracefully to the "Rangoon General Post Office (GPO)," exploring its historical and postal significance. These thematic choices promise enriching reads and visual delights for enthusiasts and collectors alike.
In 2023, four issues for Jan, Apr, Jul and Oct were published. The digital copies of the journal is distributed to MPS members. The editor compiled four issues, together with the contents, author index, subject index and post office index, and produced the softbound printed book. The whole volume includes 104 pages. The annual book is adorned with a painting by the talented artist Ko G Latt, gracing its cover with vibrant colors and artistic brilliance.
