Every page of National Geographic from 1888 to 2008, including all articles and photographs, is now available for purchase on one light-weight hard drive.

While having the entire magazine collection would fill your shelves with that cheery yellow color, this is probably a better option for travelers. National Geographic has collected all of their writing, photos, maps, even the accompanying advertisements, digitally reproduced in high resolution on a 3″ x 5″ hard drive.

A few features include:

  • Use Geobrowse—a visual geographic search tool—to find articles, photographs, and maps about the location you choose
  • Browse special “read lists” from National Geographic or personalize your archive by creating and saving your own lists of favorite articles
  • Test your knowledge of subjects including exploration, the environment, geography, history, cultures, and more with a trivia game that links to related articles
  • Includes a bonus DVD with tips on how to take better photographs, an exclusive behind-the-scenes look at how National Geographic Magazine is put together, and interviews with NGM photographers revealing the backstory behind their famous photographs
  • USB cable included
  • Partitioned hard drive includes separate space for 100GB of your personal files
  • This collection can only be shipped in the U.S. or Canada.

    Price: $199.95

    Aha. :) Only a matter of time. They’ve had the 100-year collection available on CDs for a few years now, and I’ve been working my way through the 1890s and 1900s. Truly fascinating. National Geographic is a terrific snapshot of the last century, people and planet. Required reading for the next generation, I’d suggest (since it reports on so many places and species that are no longer with us – a timely reminder indeed).

    Regarding the digital versions of NG on CD – software’s great, scans are perfectly readable. If this hard-drive version continues that trend, I can’t recommend this product enough.
