The first edition of the A.T.F.S. Annual, titled "The 1951 A.T.F.S. International Athletic Annual" was produced by joint editors Fulvio Regli and Dr. Roberto Quercetani and published by Tipografia "La Commerciale" SA, Lugano, in Switzerland.

Thru the years various members of the A.T.F.S. have taken on the onerous task of editing the yearly publication.

In 1985, renowned British statistician and broadcaster Peter Matthews took over the editing and assumed management of the publication from the A.T.F.S., renaming it The International Track and Field Annual.  In 2022, the A.T.F.S. took over management and distribution of the publication, with many A.T.F.S. members continuing to contribute to each years publication.

The latest edition, "Athletics 2023, The International Track and Field Annual" is available from the Lulu the Association's "Print-on-Demand" authorized distributor.  Use this link to order directly: Athletics 2023

Each yearly edition is generally available by late April/early May, with current financial members of A.T.F.S. receiving their copy soon after publication.
