<p><span style="font-size: 24pt;"><strong>A Visual Presentation of Map Indices</strong></span></p>
<p><span style="font-size: 18pt;"><strong>and a call for scanned images of Map Index covers</strong></span></p>
<p> </p>
<p><span style="font-size: 12pt;">Combining my fascination with metadata and my general love of maps, the National Geographic Map Index series is one of my favorite portions of my overall collection. The maps, with positioned letter/number grid around their borders, together with the alphabetized list of place names and grid locations make perusing those maps easier and, at least to me, more enjoyable. That map/list combination is also the making of an Atlas; and ironically, the Atlas Series of map supplements during the late fifties and the sixties was what killed the “Golden Age” of Map Indices, the period of the “shaded seal” with its globe. After that series of maps, and the printing of the multiple-index for them, the Society moved on to printing Atlases. They did try to reboot the Map Indices three different times, each one fizzled out; and by 1990 they came to an end. It is a little nebulous as to the exact number of Map Indices in the series but I peg it at 103.</span></p>
<p><span style="font-size: 12pt;">I recently scanned the covers of my Map Index collection (sadly I only have 90) and posted them here at the ‘Corner in an Album. I also included two cover images of Indices not in my possession. I am asking any collector out there who have any of the Map Indices I have listed below to send me (or post) scanned images of the covers. The list is of all the Indices I still need (hint, hint). The two for which I have images are of poor quality and I could use better. I should be able to “drag n’ drop” the images into the Album in their proper places (I hope, it is a little twitchy). Sadly, albums only hold 100 images, so if I get all 103, I’ll have some decisions to make into how to fit them in.</span></p>
<p><span style="font-size: 12pt;"> </span></p>
<p><span style="font-size: 18pt;"><strong>First, here is the <a href="http://ngscollectors.ning.com/photo/album/show?id=1029239%3AAlbum%3A283835&xg_source=activity" target="_self">Album</a>. Enjoy at your leisure.</strong></span></p>
<p><span style="font-size: 12pt;"> </span></p>
<p><span style="font-size: 12pt;"><strong>And here is a list of Map Indices for which I need Cover images:</strong></span></p>
<ul>
<li><span style="font-size: 12pt;"><strong>1918 – Western Theater of War</strong></span></li>
<li><span style="font-size: 12pt;"><strong>1921 – New Europe</strong></span></li>
<li><span style="font-size: 12pt;"><strong>1934 – Mexico, Central America, and the West Indies</strong></span></li>
<li><span style="font-size: 12pt;"><strong>1938 – South America</strong></span></li>
<li><span style="font-size: 12pt;"><strong>1967 – Vietnam, Cambodia, Laos, and Thailand</strong></span></li>
<li><span style="text-decoration: line-through; font-size: 12pt;"><strong>1968 – United States</strong></span></li>
<li><span style="font-size: 12pt;"><strong>1968 – Southeast Asia</strong></span></li>
<li><span style="font-size: 12pt;"><strong>1969 – West Indies and Central America</strong></span></li>
<li><span style="font-size: 12pt;"><strong>1975 – World</strong></span></li>
<li><span style="font-size: 12pt;"><strong>1978 – World (Revision)</strong></span></li>
<li><span style="font-size: 12pt;"><strong>1980 – United States/Portrait USA (Revision)</strong></span></li>
<li><span style="text-decoration: line-through; font-size: 12pt;"><strong>1982 – World/Ocean Floor</strong></span></li>
<li><span style="font-size: 12pt;"><strong>1985 – United States/Federal Lands (Revision)</strong></span></li>
</ul>
<p><span style="font-size: 12pt;"> </span></p>
<p><span style="font-size: 12pt;">The history of the Map Index series is very easy to see as portrayed by their covers. It starts with experimentation. The first one had an odd size. They soon conformed to a standard size and the “golden age” began in the ‘twenties. That age lasted from (at least 1929) and ended in 1958. It can be broken up into two periods, the first has a shaded seal displaying a globe at the top of the cover. That spanned 1929 to 1942. Later in 1942, the seal was moved down to the center of the cover. It stayed there until 1958, when the Atlas Series of map supplements choked out the supply of maps needed for individual indices. The first reboot attempt occurred in 1961 with the printing of the only Non-supplement Map Index ever issued, the one of the USSR. The cover still had the yellow border, but the seal was missing leaving a plain white background. There were only two more of those indices printed, the last in 1965. Starting in 1967, a second reboot was attempted, this time with a hip new cover. It not only contained an image of the map being indexed, but also a small image of the cover from the <em>National Geographic</em> in which the map was a supplement. There was a total of nine of these indices, the last being issued in 1971. The last and final reboot of the Map Index series occurred in 1975 with the issue of an index for a map of the world. It was followed a year later with one of the US. Those two maps were revised and reissued about three years after the first. The three-year cycle continued with the maps being revised and the back pictorial changing every other cycle. The fifth pair of World/USA Map Indices were the last, and by 1990 the end of a fascinating series had finally come.</span></p>

<p><em>Hello Collector's Corner members,</em></p>
<p></p>
<p><strong><span style="text-decoration: underline;">On this day 100 years ago, November 4, 1922:</span></strong></p>
<p>Howard Carter "discovered" the entryway to the tomb of King (Pharaoh) <span>Tutankhamun </span>(aka 'the boy king'). Later, on November 23rd, with Lord Carnarvon (the financier of the expeditions) Carter arrived at the doorway and entered the then-still sealed inner burial chamber(s).</p>
<p></p>
<p>Tut was an instant legend and phenomenon. Further, Tutankhamun's parents were --ostensibly-- none other than Akhenaten and Nefertiti, two of the premier personalities in ancient Egyptology.</p>

<p>I have posted a photo album of images showing various books, magazines, documentaries, etc., that National Geographic has put out over the years.</p>

<p></p>
<p></p>
<p><span style="text-decoration: underline;">Note</span>: Interestingly, there has never been a dedicated map/pictorial specifically about King Tut and/or his tomb(s) released by <em>NGM</em> as a stand-alone supplement. And yet, there has been a few versions of a "Tut" soundtrack, billed as 'sounds of the Pharaohs' and "ambient sounds of King Tut", which were commissioned to accompany several (Tutankhamun) exhibitions, circa 2005 + 2008. </p>
<p></p>
<p>I have found that in the earliest coverage of King Tutankham<span style="text-decoration: underline; font-size: 10pt;"><strong>u</strong></span>n, National Geographic spelled his name with an "<strong><em>e</em></strong>" at the end, but thenceforth presented it with the "<em><strong>u</strong></em>" we are accustomed to seeing in the modern era. </p>
<p></p>
<p>Below, I will itemize a list of <span style="text-decoration: underline;">primary</span> "King Tut" articles published in <em>National Geographic Magazine</em> (with or without Tut being on the cover of NGM).</p>
<ul>
<li><strong>May1923 -</strong> "At the Tomb of Tutankhamun" {the very 1st coverage in NGM, a mere 6 months after the discovery}</li>
<li> <strong>October 1963 -</strong> "Tutankhamun's Golden Trove" ~ <em>{NGM's 75th anniversary issue}</em></li>
<li><strong>June 2005 -</strong> "Modern Technology Reopens the Ancient Case of King Tut"</li>
<li><em>also,</em> June 2005 - <em>Department / 'Worldwide'</em> - CT Scans of King Tut; new insights</li>
<li>January 2006 - <em>Department / 'OnScreen & Online'</em> - Join the Interactive Expedition to see King Tut's Burial Chamber</li>
<li>Dec 2007 - <em>Department / 'Archaeology'</em> - CT Scans of Egyptian Royal Mummies</li>
<li><strong>September 2010 -</strong> "King Tut's Family Secrets"</li>

<p><span style="text-decoration: underline;">A brief run-down of <em>Adventure</em>:</span></p>
<p>Ran from 1999 - 2009/10, just slightly over 10 years.</p>
<p></p>
<p>Its only mission statement was:</p>
<p style="text-align: center;"><span><em>National Geographic Adventure is the magazine for people who want to explore the exciting world of National Geographic for themselves: to travel to and protect the wildest corners of the planet; to see and understand the wonders of nature; to interact with different cultures and inspiring landscapes.</em></span></p>
<p style="text-align: center;"><span><em>Your support is vital to National Geographic's mission to increase global understanding and promote stewardship of our planet through conservation, research, exploration, and education.</em></span></p>
<p></p>
<p><em>Adventure</em><span> </span>commenced with the Spring 1999 issue, and was billed as an 'inspirational adventure resource'. It was quarterly in the beginning. It was at its largest format during the first 4 years (width, height, thickness). </p>
<p></p>
<p>It went bi-monthly with the Jan/Feb 2000 issue, and ran thus through Nov/Dec 2001. Starting with the Jan/Feb 2002 issue, it went to 10 times per year. It ran 10 issues/year through to Dec 2008/January 2009. </p>
<p>In the mid 2000's the height of the magazine was reduced. It was to be reduced again, height & width in 2009. It was at its slimmest and smallest during the 2006-2010 time-frame (thinner paper too). </p>
<p></p>
<p>Now, it wouldn't be a discussion about a Nat Geo magazine without mentioning 2 things: a yellow border, and map supplements!</p>
<ol>
<li><em>Adventure</em><span> </span>did not feature a yellow border for its first 7 years, until the February 2006 issue.</li>
<li>There was a total of but 1 "map" supplement. It was loosely inserted into the June/July 2002 issue. Interestingly, it is the same 'poster' that was included in the June 2002 issue of NGM ---> the infamous Mt. Everest Expeditions poster with the advertisement on back. </li>
</ol>
<p></p>
<p><span><em>Adventure</em> used only one tagline over its 10 years; it was printed under the title on the front cover:</span></p>
<ul>
<li>Dream It. Plan It. Do It. ~ (2003-2010)</li>
</ul>
<p></p>
<p><span>In 10 years, <em>Adventure</em> had one Editor (Editor in Chief):</span></p>
<ul>
<li>John Rasmus</li>
</ul>
<p><span>_________________________________________</span></p>
<p></p>
<p><span>Originally, when <em>Adventure</em> went to 10 issues per year, it was published as: </span></p>
<ol>
<li><span>Jan/Feb 2002</span></li>
<li><span>March '02</span></li>
<li><span>April '02</span></li>
<li><span>May '02</span></li>
<li><span>June/July '02</span></li>
<li>Aug '02</li>
<li>Sept '02</li>
<li><span>Oct '02</span></li>
<li><span>Nov '02</span></li>
<li><span>Dec '02/Jan 2003</span></li>
</ol>
<p></p>
<p><span>Then for 2003 - 2008, it was as thus:</span></p>
<ol>
<li><span>Feb</span></li>
<li><span>March</span></li>
<li><span>April</span></li>
<li><span>May</span></li>
<li><span>June/July</span></li>
<li><span>Aug</span></li>
<li><span>Sept</span></li>
<li><span>Oct</span></li>
<li><span>Nov</span></li>
<li><span>Dec/Jan</span></li>
</ol>
<p></p>
<p><span>However, they then decided to make it untidy some more by going to 8 issues for the year 2009 w/ revised publication months:</span></p>
<ol>
<li><span>Feb '09</span></li>
<li><span>March</span></li>
<li><span>April/May</span></li>
<li>June/July</li>
<li>Aug/Sept</li>
<li>Oct</li>
<li><span>Nov</span></li>
<li><span>Dec '09/Jan 2010</span></li>
</ol>
<p></p>
<p><span>But this is detail that is really getting nitty-gritty, so with that I close my historical overview of National Geographic <em>Adventure</em> magazine. </span></p>
<p></p>

<p></p>
<p><span style="text-decoration: underline;"><em>Note: </em></span></p>
<p><span>Sadly, the final issue had no announcement or Editor's letter indicating discontinuation of the publication. <em>Adventure</em> (allegedly) still has an online presence.</span></p>
