A popular activity within BNAPS are the many study groups
(listed below) that afford members the opportunity to communicate
with other members sharing similar interests. Most groups
publish their own newsletter in which group members can exchange
opinions, ask questions, and report findings. The information
published in study group newsletters can lead to the production
of specialized handbooks by the BNAPS Publications Committee.
Many study groups meet at BNAPEX, the Annual
Convention of the Society. Each group has its own elected officers
and minimal dues, which help to cover printing and distribution
of the newsletters.
Membership in BNAPS entitles you to apply for membership in as
many study groups as you wish, with the first year's dues for
one group provided free of charge by the Society.
NOTE: back issues of some study group newsletters are
available at
this location.

Some study groups are currently dormant. They were active for a period of time, and
published newsletters that are available online (see links below). If you have an
interest in an area covered by one of these study groups and would
like to help reactivate it, please contact the Vice-President Study Groups, Ronald F. Smith (email).
Canada Post Ephemeral and Collateral Material
This Study Group exists to encourage discussion of an often-overlooked aspect of philately - the ephemeral materials that support the stamp issues and postal history of BNA and Canada. From postal bags to order forms, from new issue announcements to Christmas cards from Canada Post executives - we're looking for it or discussing its importance.
