Greetings!

After many years of collecting Tolkien calendars, encouragement from several other collectors, and a great deal of help from my son, I created this website. I had the name made up before I ever started typing this text. So it is a bit presumptuous to call it a complete guide. However, I do encourage comments and additions from visitors and other collectors in the hope that it will become so. Especially, you will note many "variant" calendars throughout the list: different versions of the same calendar (changes in format, language, etc.) If you know of a calendar not listed here, please email me!

Also, you will note the title lines in many (55) of the calendar entries are links (green and underlined.) Click on these to view the monthly illustrations of that particular calendar. These come from the Calendar of the Month feature (as seen below.) So, slowly but surely, the illustrations of the many calendars are appearing here.

One note: I am not a collector of the Lord of the Rings movie-related calendars (with a few exceptions.) There was an excellent compilation by Sean at collecttolkien.com. Jeremy has rebuilt that list on his Tolkien Collector's Guide website.

Calendar of the Month


THE CALENDAR OF THE MONTH for January is "“The Lord of the Rings 1977 Calendar.” As the Professor's birthday occurs this month, it seemed appropriate to feature a calendar with illustrations giving us all an idea of how Middle-earth appeared to him. Cover: "Eye of Sauron". End page has some nice notations added by his son, Christopher.

January | February | March | April
