Purdue puts 122 editions of the yearbook online

Written by Evan Blackwell, CJE

Thanks to many requests from alums and others looking for information dating back years, Purdue University decided to take 122 back editions of the school’s Debris yearbook and add them to the University’s Online Library collection.

The website that now holds all the back editions of the Debris includes a keyword search, so users can find old photos, or find the scores of old Purdue games.

This article from the Journal & Courier of West Lafayette, Ind., details the work that went in to getting the Purdue online yearbook archive created. Users can visit the archive site at http://earchives.lib.purdue.edu/about/debris.
