COLLECTIBLE    BACK    ISSUES

In case you've just discovered our calendar productions we are very happy to offer our calendar editions from years past. Here you can view the various back issues with descriptions of notable features contained in each calendar.

It is important to point out that we've been producing our "A Journey into 365 Days of Black History" wall calendar since 1983. From that year to the present we have stored back issues of calendars we managed to not sell including  our very first calendar published, printed, marketed and sold by our head researcher, G. Theodore Catherine. That 1983 calendar set the tone for our calendar productions. Here is the list:
