This page lists every Multi-Doctor story in which two or more incarnations meet or appear in close proximity to each other in the order in which each incarnation of the Doctor experienced them, with an analysis of their state in the memories of the Doctor and any other applicable individuals.

Stories in bold indicate that the incarnation being focused on is the most recent incarnation in that story.

Timeline

First Doctor

As a young boy, the First Doctor weeps in the barn on Gallifrey when he is comforted by a "kind stranger" who arrived in the TARDIS, where the Twelfth Doctor is unconscious.

The First Doctor overhears a message from the Eleventh Doctor addressed to Susan Foreman and Cedric Chivers.
The First Doctor receives the Hand of Omega from the Seventh Doctor in 1963. This contradicts other stories (Time & Time Again, Lungbarrow, and The Beginning) all of which state that the First Doctor took the Hand of Omega with him when he left Gallifrey.
In 1963, the First Doctor, considering what is to become of the Hand of Omega, is saved from an Imperial Dalek by the Seventh Doctor, who pushes him out of the way before collecting the TARDIS Instruction Manual, actually a piece of the Key to Time, which the First Doctor had dropped. Regaining his footing, the First Doctor remains unaware of both his would-be assassin and his savior, believing he had simply slipped.
During the events of An Unearthly Child, the First Doctor meets the Eighth Doctor, who has travelled back in time to make telepathic contact with his past self in order to regain his memories. Unlike other Multi-Doctor Events, the First Doctor remember this encounter and so each of his next six incarnations will recognise the Eighth Doctor when he comes for their memories.
The First Doctor is summoned by the Time Lords to assist the Second and Third Doctors in their battle with Omega, but becomes trapped in a time eddy. In The Empire of Glass, set shortly afterwards, the First Doctor is vaguely able to recall having met "a dandy and a clown".
The First Doctor is kidnapped to play the Game of Rassilon in the Death Zone alongside his second, third and fifth incarnations.

The first thirteen incarnations of the Doctor work together to resolve the Void crisis.
The First Doctor invites his seven immediate successors to Christmas dinner.
The First Doctor teams up with his other selves to save Gallifrey at the end of the Last Great Time War.
Set during the end of The Tenth Planet, the First Doctor, adamant that he does not want to change, holds off his regeneration long enough to meet the Twelfth Doctor. The First Doctor learns about a significant amount of his future, and also meets an manifestation of future companion Bill Potts. He ultimately goes through with his regeneration with the knowledge that his future is in safe hands, with his memories of the encounter supposedly dying with his old body.

The first thirteen incarnations of the Doctor work together to resolve the Void crisis.
The Second Doctor is summoned by the Time Lords to assist the Third Doctor in the battle with Omega, in which they prevail despite a difficult relationship. Afterwards, he recalled how he "[met] [him]self with another face", (PROSE: Goodbyes) and that his "replacement" was "unpromising", (TV: The Five Doctors) as well as that he had promised to replace his recorder. (WC: Doctors Assemble!)
The Second Doctor finds a psychic paper with a message on it from the Eleventh Doctor, and also receives a psychic image of what the Eleventh Doctor would look like, including his bowtie.
During the events of The War Games, the Second Doctor meets the Eighth Doctor, who has travelled back in time to make telepathic contact with his past self in order to regain his memories. The Second Doctor recognises his future self, remembering when he came for his memory as the First Doctor.
"Bending" the Laws of Time, the Second Doctor reunites with an older Brigadier and clearly recalls The Three Doctors, refering to both Omega and his "replacement".

The Doctor teams up with his two predecessors to battle Omega.

He meets Jackie Tyler, learns that he is destined to take on a "Rose" and a "Mickey" as companions, that Harriet Jones is to be the Prime Minister by 2006 and, although they do not meet, indirectly aides his successor in completing his recent regeneration. The Doctor does not appear to retain this information, not recognising Rose, Mickey, or Jackie upon their first proper meeting in Rose, nor Harriet in Aliens of London, and with the Tenth Doctor believing the vapour from some tea that Rose and Mickey had spilt in the TARDIS to be the key to his recovery.
The Third Doctor and Jo receive assistance in defending a submarine from Sea Devils by a crewman who, unbeknownst to them, is actually the Fourth Doctor.

Nonetheless, he would still remember marrying Queen Elizabeth in The End of Time.
