1993 (don't they have a copy in their library to verify that date?) and it replaced the WTS history in the 1975 yearbook and the 1959 Divine Purpose book. The proclaimers book is still current information. If it wasn't the WTS would have replaced it with a new book, that is their pattern. Try and find any new information on these topics in any newer WTS publication.
When the Proclaimers book came out a section was discussed during the instruction talk each week in the school. Otherwise most jws would never have read it. Even those who might have "read" it, might have missed the footnotes and divided up in 3 places information.
*** km 10/94 p. 3 Theocratic Ministry School Schedule for 1995 ***ASSIGNMENT NO. 1: 15 minutes. This talk should be handled by an elder or a ministerial servant, and it will be based on Jehovah’sWitnesses—ProclaimersofGod’sKingdom or "AllScriptureIsInspiredofGodandBeneficial." When based on the Proclaimers book, this assignment should be delivered as a 15-minute instruction talk with no oral review; when based on the "AllScripture" book, it should be delivered as a 10- to 12-minute instruction talk with a 3- to 5-minute oral review following, using the printed questions in the publication. The objective should be not just to cover the material but to focus attention on the practicalvalue of the information being discussed, highlighting what will be most helpful to the congregation. The theme shown should be used. Illustrations, photographs, and charts found in the Proclaimers book may be commented on by the speaker and used as teaching aids. All are encouraged to make careful advance preparation so as to benefit fully from this material.

Here is something that slipped past me in 1974.
*** w74 8/15 p. 507 No Spiritual "Energy Crisis" for Discreet Ones ***From that understanding, it was thought that the "chaste virgin" class began going forth to meet the Bridegroom in 1874. (2 Cor. 11:2) Hence, when C. T. Russell began publishing a new religious magazine in July 1879, it was called "Zion’s Watch Tower and Herald of Christ’s Presence." It was heralding Christ’s presence as having begun in 1874. This invisible presence was expected to continue until the Gentile Times ended in 1914, when the Gentile nations would be destroyed and the remnant of the "chaste virgin" class would be glorified with their Bridegroom in heaven by death and resurrection to live in the spirit. (1 Cor. 15:42-44) Thus would the "discreet virgin" class enter through the door into the wedding.

What study projects would give you the joy of new insight? Such projects as an in-depth analysis of the various covenants that God has entered into for mankind’s benefit are enlightening. You could strengthen your faith by making a study of the prophecies pointing to Jesus Christ or a verse-by-verse consideration of one of the prophetic books of the Bible. Faith-strengthening too is a review of the modern-day history of Jehovah’s Witnesses, using the book Jehovah’sWitnesses—ProclaimersofGod’s
