National Geographic Society

Yellow-bordered magazine publisher

The National Geographic Society is an American nonprofit organization founded in 1888 to promote geography, exploration, and scientific research.

Best known for its yellow-bordered magazine, the society funds expeditions, produces documentaries, and publishes maps.

National Geographic often refers to the magazine itself: I found a stack of old National Geographics in the attic.
