I have been a huge fan of the National Geographic magazine for as long as I can remember and subscribe to it.
National Geographic has released an wickedly cool collection of their magazines since 1888 in a 160GB hard drive.
In their own words,

That is really cool. I would love to get all those National Geographics. Thanks for the heads up on the digital format.
wow, I had no idea NatGeo had been around for so long. It would be fascinating to see the 1800’s stuff.
