Introduction

The Central Library has hundreds of local high school yearbooks. Most are in the Buffalo collection in the Grosvenor Room, and as they are frequently used for genealogy research, cannot be borrowed or removed from the room.

This collection has largely been created from kind donations, and volumes are frequently added. The library catalog is updated as soon as the donations are processed, please check the catalog for the most recent holdings for schools and years.

Many of the early Buffalo high schools also published student literary journals, and some include lists of students. These and other relevant publications, such as alumni directories, are listed in this guide by the school name under High Schools.

Some of the college yearbooks and alumni directories are stored in our Closed Stacks. They can be retrieved in minutes and the staff is happy to do so.

Elementary, grammar and middle schools? There are a few in our collection; see first section below. School #51 published a yearbook called the Broadcaster. Junior High Yearbooks are listed with the High School Yearbooks.

Where ELSE can I find yearbooks?

Try contacting the school, if it is still in existence. Many keep archival collections pertaining to their own history, often as part of the school's library.

The Dudley Branch, Eden, Angola, and West Seneca libraries of the BECPL also have collections of yearbooks from their neighborhoods/towns. See pages 2729 and/or contact the libraries for current holdings.

Ancestry Library database contains some WNY yearbooks. The "U.S. School Yearbooks" are found in the Schools, Directories & Church Histories category.
