Images of the original documents from the following years are available for downloading. These Issues have been scanned and turned into Adobe PDF (Portable Document Format) files. If you need a PDF Reader go to Adobe's site and download the latest reader.

Just as APCO is still a live and growing association, the indexing and scanning of all of APCO's publications is an on-going process. This listing will be expanded as we continue scanning additional issues and as we learn more about the specific interests of our readers.

If you have comments to submit, or notice an error in our listings, please send our Chapter Historian an e-mail note. Make your comments as detailed as possible. Be sure to include the date and time when you last observed the problem, as well as the name and version number of the Internet browser program(s) you were using at that time.

We hope you enjoy the chance to see and read APCO's earliest documents. Be aware that, if you try to print them, many of the 1935 pages were originally printed on 8-1/2" x 14" legal-sized paper. You may need to change your printer setup parameters and re-load different paper if you want to print them full-size. Otherwise, you may choose to use the "Print to Fit" option in your Adobe Acrobat printer setup window. It is always best to use the "Print to Fit" option when printing the magazines because many of them are wider than 8-1/2".

The handwritten notations on the 1935-1938 documents were probably made by former APCO National President (and first APCO Historian) Mr. Herb Wareing of Milwaukee, Wisconsin, who participated in that first APCO meeting and devoted most of his life to serving APCO. Much of his personal collection of early APCO materials is now in the Historical Collection at the Bradley University Library.
