One writer’s take on the importance of yearbooks

Written by Evan Blackwell, CJE

The significant role that yearbooks play in recording a school’s history is certainly a point of view that we love to emphasize here at the Yearbooks Blog.

Here is an article from writer Elizabeth Pinkerton of the Elk Grove Citizen in Elk Grove, Calif., which discusses the same ideas.

Pinkerton also shares the story of the efforts of the local high school alumni website to get pages of old yearbooks scanned and online as a service to the local community.
