Cumulative Magazine Indexes
(all published by the National Geographic Society):

National Geographic Annual Index: From 1997 to 2003, I edited and co-edited a series of 36-page, annually published, print indexes that provided access by subjects and authors/photographers to four major magazines published by National Geographic, including NATIONAL GEOGRAPHIC magazine, National Geographic ADVENTURE, National Geographic TRAVELER, and National Geographic KIDS (formerly WORLD).

NATIONAL GEOGRAPHIC, 1989-1998: In 1999, I made extensive editorial contributions to this 222-page cumulative index to the subjects, titles, and contributors to 10 years of NATIONAL GEOGRAPHIC magazine feature articles and departments.

Key to NATIONAL GEOGRAPHIC magazine: For the December issues in 1998, 1999, 2000, 2002, and 2003, I compiled one-page, "year in review"-style title indexes to feature articles of the year.

National Geographic TRAVELER magazine Index: For the January issues of 1998 through 2003, I wrote cumulative indexes to the subjects of each year's major articles and departments, arranged by geographic location covered. Material from this index was used to compile the online "Traveler Magazine Index" available at http://www.nationalgeographic.com/traveler/trindex.html.

National Geographic ADVENTURE magazine Editorial Index: In 2001, I provided content, plus extensive advice on structure, for the first "ADVENTURE Editorial Index, 1999-2001" as published in the Jan./Feb. 2002 issue.
