The USPS Corporate Library has obtained a copy of “The World as a ‘Single Postal Territory’: The UPU’s Role in History.”
The book’s release marked the close of 150th anniversary celebrations for the Universal Postal Union, or UPU, and explores its place in global history.
The book includes insights from more than 20 postal scholars who attended the first UPU Historians’ Colloquium in Bern, Switzerland, in 2024.
USPS Historian Stephen Kochersperger contributed one of the chapters: “United States Parcel Post, 1887-1984: A Century-Long Road to Joining the UPU Parcel Post Agreement.”
Postal Service employees may borrow a hard copy of the book, which is written in French and English, from the library. The book is also downloadable as an ePUB or PDF.
