Detailed Overview
When National Geographic magazine debuted in 1888 as a scholarly, scientific
journal, it reflected the interests of its small, mostly professional,
readership. Between its conservative, brown covers, there were no photographs —
only studious articles that discussed such topics as “Geographic Methods in
Geologic Investigation” and “The Great Storm of March 11-14, 1888.”
More than a century later, the now yellow‑bordered National Geographic brings
the world of geography — in its broadest sense — to some 60 million readers
around the globe each month. With comprehensive, timely articles and legendary
photographs and maps, the magazine documents life on our planet and beyond, and
interprets the world’s sweeping changes through the lens of personal experience.
Through the decades, National Geographic has brought its readers gripping
first-person accounts of epic exploration and discovery, from Hiram Bingham’s
work at Machu Picchu to Jane Goodall’s groundbreaking research with chimpanzees
to Robert Ballard’s discovery of the Titanic.
Every article, every photograph and every map of this vast knowledge base is
faithfully reproduced in National Geographic Magazine Archive,
1888-1994. This incomparable archive is an essential resource for
researchers of all ages as well as a fascinating collection for general
readers.
