The POSTCARD PILLAR is the journal of the New Zealand Postcard Society. The current editors are Jeff & Jenny Long of Christchurch who selflessly devote their time and energy writing researched articles and collating material from members and other contributors to produce the quarterly journal.

The Postcard Pillar’s current numbering sequence commenced in March 1993.  Prior to this date, there were six numbered editions from the Society’s inception in 1983, then for an eight-year period the Pillars, or Newsletters, were seen very infrequently, none were numbered, and in some cases only notes were added to a Society auction.

In the early 1990’s the Society’s membership was so low the Committee had seriously considered shutting up shop. The serious decline was attributed to the non-appearance of the Pillar. At that point, the then Secretary, Chris Rabey, and the Publicity Officer, Patricia Anderson, got together and decided to revitalise the Pillar on a monthly basis. This commenced early in 1993, Patricia then took sole responsibility as Editor, and membership slowly picked up again. In the ensuing years Brian McClintock, the late Ian Cameron, Bill Main, Jeff Long & Laurence Eagle and now Jeff and Jenny Long have all brought the Pillar to the very high standard of publication we now enjoy. We thank all these people for getting the Society back on track to the level we see it today.

Members are encouraged to write articles for publishing in the journal. The journal editors welcome short to full length articles, and can provide the author with support to turn their draft into a final printed version.
