Yearbooks on Ancestry.com

If you ever doubted that yearbooks are valuable historical documents, then check out Ancestry.com.  This genealogy website has an entire section dedicated to yearbooks, with some 60 million records covering from 1875 to 1988.


Click on the yearbook section at Ancestry.com to access the site's yearbook search engine, to read real-life stories of people's research into their pasts via yearbooks, and to see celebrity yearbook photos.  There's also a collection of funny nicknames gleaned from yearbooks, and links to other yearbook-related articles and more.  There's even a form if you're interested in submitting your own yearbooks for Ancestry.com's database.
