What You Will Learn

Yearbooks are a rich source of information when researching family history. While they are frequent tools for those who are reminiscing, researchers and genealogists can also benefit from what is between their covers. I will address the utility of yearbooks for family history, how the yearbook (or “annual”) has changed, advantages and disadvantages of yearbooks as historical resources, and the process of reviewing yearbooks at the JCPS Archives.
