Where can I view back issues of National Geographic in NYC?

February 6, 2014 2:15 PM

I'm looking for an article from a National Geographic magazine originally published in 1967. I've checked the New York Public Library catalog but no luck. Any ideas where I can find a copy? Digital or hard copy is fine.

Are you willing to pay twenty dollars?

Best answer: NYPL has them off-site, but you can request the issue.

NYPL also has access to the digital version, starting in 1959. It is only available on site though.

I've got the complete NG (as of 1999, when I bought it) on CD-ROM. Tell me the article and if the CD still reads I'll see what I can do.

I too have the Complete NG, but the newer DVD version. They certainly read ok, let me know which article I'll see what I can do.

Brooklyn Public appears to have it in microfilm as well as onsite... somewhere. I can't do a thing with their catalog but I'd give them a call if one of their branches is convenient to you and you may be able to just walk in and read it.
