Articles on mind mapping

These articles were collected by Vic Gee, the original owner of this site. When I reorganized the site into a wiki in 2018, I carried them over, as some of them are useful, and some have collected valuable comments over the years – even with mind mapping historical records.

With all due respect to Vic, the primary collection of articles about mind mapping and concept mapping techniques and many different types of graphical organizers is in WikIT, the mindmapper’s wiki which you should definitely visit now!
