The collectors of aquarium literature was an organization founded by Dave Hopp and Paul Harvey to better organize those who collected vintage aquarium magazines and books. Each issue had articles on aquarium publication history plus articles related to book and magazine collecting in general. This publication ran from May 1983 through June 1994 for a total of 55 issues. (August through November 1988 was a combined issue 25/26 and March through July 1989 was marked 29/30 1989.)

The MOAPH museum wishes to thank Paul Harvey and Dave Hopp for giving the museum permission to reprint these issues.
