> Scans from National Geographic magazines dating back to the 1800's. Wonder if I can use these photos for personal or even commercial projects. Is National Geographic enforcing copyright and license to this medium?

Things prior to 1923 (depending on your jurisdiction) should be out of copyright.

So, three photos and a scanned page out of the whole collection?

Yes.

However, it is entirely possible there are more sources than a single Tumblr for old National Geographic magazines.
