Thanks, badgeguy!

I believe W&L also has theirs for free, but I could be signed on as an alum or something and not realize it.

OleMissGlitter 08-01-2013 10:58 AM

Ole Miss too! They are finishing scanning the rest of them...I think they stop in the 1950s but soon they all will be online.

The nice thing is that more and more schools are now planning to digitalize the old yearbooks. It all comes down to finding though and having the people available who can take care of the scanning process.....

(That's where I've offered to do it, but haven't heard from the schools yet.....)

Thank you for this! We finally were able to figure out when my grandmother pledged/transferred schools! It was very exciting for us.

The University of Missouri was among the first to digitize its yearbook, the Savitar. Here's the link: http://digital.library.umsystem.edu/...home;c=savitar

My alma mater, the University of Southern California, has their yearbook "El Rodeo" online here - all the way back to 1898.

Bumping for interest...

I recently discovered that Clemson's yearbooks are online too:

University of Oregon. I was just able to find the women whose pin I just rescued for my daughters initiation.

While searching the web for information about a notable DG, I came across Goucher College's on-line yearbooks. I was able to find the ones from my mother-in-law's college years. What fun it was to see her as a collegian.

Gotta love those 1880s/1890s Greek Life photos!

Bumping because it's been awhile...

The U of I yearbooks online include volumes from when my parents went there. How fun it was to see photos of my dad with his fraternity (Tau Delta Phi)!

Sister Havana 02-20-2014 04:33 PM

And I just learned that Indiana University has a bunch of yearbooks online too!

WCsweet<3 02-20-2014 08:07 PM

Saint Lawrence University has a bunch online.

Florida State University

You'll find Faye Dunaway in the 1959 issue, page 146, and the "Coach", Lee Corso mentioned in the football sections of issues 1953-57 as well as on the ATO page in the Greek sections. Unfortunately, Burt Reynolds is not found in the yearbooks, although he was Corso's roommate and teammate on the football team in 53 and was a member of Phi Delta Theta.

A couple before-they-were-famous people in the IU Arbutus 1994 edition:
Catt Sadler, page 52 (as Cathy Sadler. She's also quoted as a Chi Omega song leader on page 50)
Sarah Becker (Real World Miami), page 376

New Mexico State just added 85 years of yearbookshttp://contentdm.nmsu.edu/cdm/landin...tion/Yearbooks

Cheerio 05-03-2016 08:25 PM

Does anyone have any additions, or new page links, for this thread?

DZ_Turtle86 05-03-2016 10:16 PM

Truman State University (fka Northeast Missouri State) has digital copies of its yearbook, The Echo, from 1901-2007:

I'm surprised I didn't catch this years ago. The University of Missouri was among the first to digitize its yearbook (The Savitar). Easy to search, IMO.

You did...check out post #7! ;)

Ours are all online. From the first to the most current.

http://scholarsmine.mst.edu/speccoll_yearbooks/

Pretty interesting because there is a long, long history of greek life on our campus. There are interest group fraternities like Chi Sigma which became Sigma Chi, and a curious sorority that was only around for one year made up of the "co-eds".

KDKells 03-09-2017 01:54 PM

I think nowadays most schools have at least some of their yearbooks online.

South Dakota State University has a few random years. Lots of earlier years.

Cheerio 07-10-2017 09:51 PM

Always enjoy bumping this thread...

The University of Georgia has the early additions of the Pandora available via their rare books library

Pitt's has changed drastically from when I last looked at it. It was easy to navigate, and I was even able to make some fairly decent copies of photos on the site. Now, one can barely read a name, let alone make a copy! Shame on you, Pitt!

Cheerio 11-23-2018 10:37 PM

let's bump this for any updates...

Cheerio 01-07-2021 03:05 PM

Is anyone willing to share new and/or updated information regarding Online University Yearbooks?

Perhaps there are further resources available from GC members who have joined us during the past two years.

I've found that most major universities have them online. If you Google <name of university> Digital Archives, you can find that most have them out there. I have been researching some history within some of our chapters and have been pleasantly surprised to find so many.
