Newsletter Archive
APHA produced a printed newsletter for members from 1974 to 2013. From 1974 until 1995, it was published six times per year and four times per year thereafter. It featured accounts of APHA activities, announcements of upcoming events, reports from regional chapters, and miscellaneous news items of interest to members.
Beginning with issue number 172 (Fall 2009), the newsletter was distributed exclusively via email as a PDF. Publication ceased in 2013 when newsletter content was incorporated into this website. All issues are now available for download (an index is in development).
In January 2024, APHA launched Pressing Matters as a PDF newsletter emailed exclusively to members. In February, it was renamed Fit to Print and is archived here.
