WASC's journal: an introduction to Cameo

Cameo, the journal of the West Africa Study Circle has been published since 1975. During that period there have been just four editors. Cameo appears three times each year, in January, May and October. It is in A4 format, typically with over sixty pages of a wide range of articles and comment. There are sections reviewing recently published literature and auction reports. The magazine has been awarded medals at national and international philatelic competitions including in 2016 a gold medal at the American Philatelic Society Stamp Show. In addition to Cameo, there is a Secretary's newsletter distributed with each issue detailing news of the Study Circle and its meetings.

Issues from number 1 to number 110 (June 2020) are available on our Cameo back-copies page.

WASC members have access to all the more recent issues of Cameo. For £5 a year members receive an electronic version of Cameo. Members can opt to receive a printed copy of Cameo also. Rates for 'paper copy' membership are given on the WASC membership page.

The Cameo Index volumes 1 to 25 covers all issues up to the end of 2024. It is organised alphabetically by administration, and available as an Excel file which may be downloaded and searched by topic, country or author.
