I am a published author and professor specializing in Philippine minorities, focusing on 1900-1920.
How can I access your National Geographic collection for those years?
Thank you for your comment, Professor Jenista. We at Middlebury can only provide access to the NG archive to our current students, faculty, and staff of Middlebury. Your best option may be to ask your library at Cedarville to trial access to this archive from Gale/Cengage. Details can be found here: http://solutions.cengage.com/national-geographic-virtual-library/1888-1994/ Best wishes! –Arabella

A couple of other options: 1) if you have specific articles you are interested in, then your public library should be able to retrieve them via Interlibrary Loan. Also, 2) if you have a DVD player on your computer, this set of the complete NG on 6 DVD-ROMs (1888-2012) may be of interest: https://www.amazon.com/gp/offer-listing/B00GVFI028/ It’s available used for ca. $50, so if you are interested in browsing specific issues, it might be of interest.
