Hello angore,
Great question about the British Empire Study Group, the reason is twofold.

First, by registering, you will automatically receive a zoom invitation for all upcoming programs. You can always discard the invitation if you're not interested but you'll be set up for future BESG zoom meetings with just a single click.

Secondly, by filling out the membership form, we learn more about your specific interests in philately to help choose topics and speakers for future events. That's it, we don't sell or share that information, it's just for BESG use.

Thank you for wondering.

Just in case anyone else besides me was wondering what a "curated" reading list is, I found this definition during a search:

Recommended reading lists are simply curated reading resources that students can go through, making it easy for them to choose what to read next. A recommended reading list can also contain videos, PDFs, presentations and other types of digital content to assist with learning.

So, it means a recommended reading list, and it seems mainly applicable to students in school. It seems that organizations like the American Library Association, Children's Book Council, Harvard Business Review, etc. publish recommended (curated) reading lists on various topics and for various purposes.

Al (angore), if there is a COGH Triangle reading list anywhere, I am not sure who would be the curating authority. The Royal Philatelic Society in London? The American Philatelic Research Library (APRL)? The Cape & Natal Study Circle? Someone else? All I can say is that I never found any such list in doing research for my article, but I did attempt to generate my own list, which I show in the bibliography section at the end.

I have cited 26 as References & Credits and another 12 or so as Additional Reading and Other Online Resources. I can copy and paste all of that info into a post if you like, or you can just get it from a copy the article.

Since the publication of the article, I have been offered some additional references, so at some point, I will be able to publish an expanded list.

Cape of Good Hope Triangular Stamps
Partial Reading List Taken from Article

OK, Al (angore ), here is a list created from the references and suggested reading sources at the end of my article. It is not comprehensive, but it represents all of the sources that I could find related specifically to identifying Cape Triangles. I did receive some help from the APRL with a few of these, but 80-90% I found through my own research, mainly online.

That's a good list! By curated, I meant some time had been put in a list. It does not need to be some socialist etty. Like start with these 5 and others that focus on aspects.

I was reading a book and in the back the author discussed various aspects and what were the best and opinions on others
