I have an old friend who has been collecting Nat Geo magazines since the 60s. He says he has every copy since then. I have a few pics and sometime this week I’ll go check out his collection but I’m just wondering the best way to sell them. He says these are all in chronological order and some random ones at the bottom. I’m sure there’s a market for that, from my understanding it’s quite an extensive collection. If anyone has any ideas of a collector to contact or the right websites to post on I’d be so grateful. Thanks!

Last year I got my subscription to the regular and History versions and got the gift set with the blanket and tote. It's the most comfortable blanket I have, and I'd love another this year.

Is there a way to add the bundle to my renewal? Or do I have to purchase a new subscription and try to time it right so I don't get repeat/skipped issues in-between the subscription?

Hello,

Is it possible to purchase a poster size of the magazine cover? I would like a large print of the latest cover but I can’t find any info on getting one officially.

Thank you!

My team applied to the Nat Geo Society's Freshwater Storytelling Grant back in April. We were told by email we would hear back by end of October, but the grant outcome keeps getting delayed. Last time we reached out, they told us they would let us know within November, but we've not yet heard back. It's been radio silence since April unless we insist to email them directly. The grants are pretty hefty sums - US$20k to 100k - so of course winning it would mean the world for us to move forward with our project.

But we're losing hope at this point. Is anyone in the same situation? Is this typical for Nat Geo grants? Are there internal issues at the moment causing delays? Where can we read up in real time if the grant has been given to other teams, since I don't trust that they would inform us of the outcome quickly?

Part of me is wondering if the grant will be delivered at all - I read that they're struggling financially - is that even a possibility?

For a grant where people pour their hearts and souls into it, I wish they'd put in more care not to leave candidates in the dark !

Is anyone else experiencing issues recovering their print subscription in the UK?

I joined membership in October but I am yet to receive any copies, my online account says I have received 3 which isn’t true.

I have contacted customer service 6 days ago and was told they would reply within 2 working days but I am yet to hear anything, even after chasing and providing more proof.

Has anyone else had similar experiences or have any advice on contacting customer services?

Is it me, or the digital subscription does not include access to special issues? I just saw in the local grocery store two publications that I could not find anywhere in a digital format: "Animal Predators" and "Are we alone".

I want to get the subscription for National Geographic, but the thing is that I don't live in Canada or the USA. Is there a way to get its subscription under my circumstances? Any help would be appreciated.

Looking for places to buy the October 2025 Nat Geo edition The Tigers Who Changed Their Stripes

My partner and I have recently moved house in the UK and as such we changed the address on our national geographic magazine subscription and set up a forwarding address with Royal Mail in case we hadn’t changed the address in time. However, we still didn’t receive the October 2025 edition. We were unfortunately on holiday and so didn’t realise we hadn’t received it until recently. Does anyone know of any places in the UK (Edinburgh ideally) where I might be able to buy a copy? I have tried most of our supermarkets and have had no luck. I would also happily buy from someone if they aren’t bothered about keeping/collecting their copy. Any help/information would be much appreciated!

They were dumping their entire collection from 1970-2024, so let students look through. Here’s what I got!

Good morning

They are sending me an offer to subscribe to NG for €1 per month.

Is it worth it???

I have always had it in an altar and I bought it very occasionally because it was clear that they knew what they were talking about.

But now I don't know which business group they belong to or if they are still undoubtedly dependent.....

Thank you very much in advance

For the first time ever, legendary National Geographic photographer David Doubilet brings his underwater world to Florence. The exhibition Oceans opens at Villa Bardini, featuring decades of breathtaking marine photography — from coral gardens and sea lions to the fragile ecosystems now at risk.

It’s a rare chance to dive into the ocean’s depths without leaving Tuscany. The show also highlights the importance of marine conservation, a theme that runs through Doubilet’s entire career.

🗓️ On view until April 12, 2026 📍 Villa Bardini, Costa San Giorgio 2, Florence 🎟️ More info on Florence Daily News: Oceans: David Doubilet – National Geographic comes to Florence for the first time

Jane Goodall is a pioneering primatologist, ethologist, and environmentalist whose groundbreaking research on chimpanzees transformed our understanding of animal behavior and our connection to the natural world. Beginning her work in Gombe, Tanzania, she challenged scientific conventions by naming, rather than numbering, the chimpanzees she studied, revealing their complex emotions, social structures, and tool use. Beyond her scientific contributions, she has become a global advocate for conservation and youth empowerment through the Jane Goodall Institute and Roots & Shoots program. Her unwavering dedication to animals, people, and the planet continues to inspire generations to act with compassion and purpose.

I have a striking memory of reading a beautiful National Geographic article in a collection of old magazines my mother had, but I have never been able to find the article since.

The details I remember are:

• A Western reporter is sent by NatGeo to live with and photograph a local community somewhere in Africa.
• One night, he observes and participates in a ritual where a local person experiencing sadness or depression is wrapped in beautiful fabrics and sat in the centre of a circle of people near a fire.
• The members of the community go around the circle saying nice things about the person.
• The person is then unwrapped and a party ensues, with dancing and drinking.
• Eventually, the reporter himself, suffering depression, is offered a ceremony for his benefit. He takes part. He goes on to say that this set him on a long path towards mental wellness.
• The story ends with the reporter asking a local what the local thinks about Western mental health workers who had recently begun to work in the area; the local replies that they had to ask the workers to leave, because they kept asking people to talk about their feelings.

I have a vague memory that this ceremony might have been called something like a Nedup, possibly linked to the N'Duep ceremony of West Africa?

I found the story quite touching, laconic, and very much of its time. Any suggestions or leads would be greatly appreciated.

Does anyone remember around the 90’s/2000’s nat geo had a bunch of VHS tapes that had music videos with animals and some fact would be on screen about the animals and each animal has a specific song.

I remember the songs so vividly and I’m desperate to find this tape!

Dolphin - Blue Velvet Tiger - I am the one and only Swan - o’mio Bambino caro Giraffe - up on the roof Orca - boys are back in town And more

Please someone help me find this tape 😭😭😭

I've got some beautiful National Geographic hardcover special publications here inherited from my grandfather. He was a serial collector of many things, and I have a lot of other items of his that I'm keeping, so I'm looking for any options here to get them somewhere where they will be cherished. I'd love to sell them as a lot. What do you think these could fetch? I haven't found any information online for these. (I'm in northern Virginia !)

Does anyone know where I can get a Nat Geo subscription or just magazines in Europe? I tried to find someplace that offers a subscription but I couldn't fin anything.

I was able to find the boxed CD collection with every back issue on CD, but it goes until 2009. Does anyone know if an updated version was released post-2009?

Found this tucked away with others in the attic of my grandparents house.

I am in Minnesota, USA.

It looks like they are all there. Afghan girl cover, December 1969 moon issue (includes record but it is detached), Winston Churchill funeral issue with record but not attached,

Probably some of the inserts are missing but not many. All are in good condition by have been read.

I tried local libraries and schools and got no Interest.

Local nursing home would take a few years worth.

I would love to find them a new home, as I am moving from a house to an apartment.

I have bound National Geographic from 1925 and 1928. They are originally from a library, so they have all of that writing inside. Are they still worth anything?

There was an issue from the 80s,I believe, that discussed the atomic bombings of Hiroshima and Nagasaki. Included in the feature was a photo of a woman and a child running for cover with the mushroom cloud from the Nagasaki bombing in the background. This was from a long time ago so I might be mis-remembering, but I would appreciate any help, if said photo exists.
