National Geographic's Collectors Corner

Collaborative site for collectors, dealers, & anyone interested in our history.

Here is a post from our new blog, NG Revisited. I think the blog will be especially useful if you have some back issues of the magazine, so I'm hoping Collector's Corner members will be interested. Enjoy!

If a volcano erupts, war breaks out, or an oil spill occurs, chances are the Geographic has a story or two in our 122-year archive that will offer some context and background. As the Publications Index Manager and a reference librarian here at the Society, I hope to provide a guide to relevant content for any given event.

 

You may have some National Geographic magazines on your bookshelf, or maybe the Complete National Geographic is sitting next to your computer; it's time to put them to work. Some posts will be for current events, some for anniversaries or holidays, and some just for fun. While much of the content will be from recent years, I will occasionally post a vintage article that is especially interesting. I'll also provide a link whenever there is an online version of an article at our website. For older articles or complete content the print issues or the Complete National Geographic (a digital version of the magazine) may be needed; don't forget your local library as a source for print issues or the Complete National Geographic; click here for more help finding National Geographic content.

I hope you check back regularly, and enjoy!

Dear Anne Marie,


Well, this was very interesting and I do appreciate you taking the time to share it with us here on the Corner. I went and looked at the main page and it looks good. I had not "caught" that peviously, in my travels across the labrinthine maze of NGM.com pages!

I've often wanted to try and do something similar here for my fellow Collector's Corner mates, but just never got to it. I'll look forward to seeing more in the future.


Have a great week! Kind regards,

Thank you for commenting! I appreciate it. Please be sure to comment in the blog if you see a spot where I could have been more helpful. I'm hoping people find it useful and entertaining. I know there are a lot of people out there who have saved the magazine.

Hi Anne Marie,

I only recently joined the Corner and came across this post whilst perusing the discussions. Well a blog sounds great. I've been collecting magazines for a while, my prints go back to the 1920s and I always think discussing articles and such is interesting.  I would definitely check it out

 

Regards
