The National Geographic developed the “Found” archive in 2013 to celebrate its 125th year. This archive contains rare and unpublished photos that for one reason or another never originally made it to print.
When you look through our favorites from the Found archive below, you’ll be glad that NatGeo kept them somewhere and didn’t just dispose of them as quite often happened at the time.
