National Geographic Old Issues PDF – 1888-2013

When you click to open a 6-month free archive volume of National Geographic, the metadata at the bottom of the screen will give the publication date as 1959.  That is not correct.  Look at the magazine covers for the dates. You may note from the list that a few volumes are missing.

Every 6-month volume of National Geographic old issues pdf has a table of contents and index at the front.  Or Go to the alphabetical index covering all issues of the magazine through 1988.

The photographic images of these back issues are often dark.  You can lighten them somewhat with the ‘Visual Adjustments’, found at the 3 dots in a circle at the left edge of the screen when you open a volume.
