Why YourYearbooks Exists

Preserving irreplaceable community memories, high school histories, and connecting alumni across generations.

local_fire_departmentBorn from disaster: the Weatherwax fire

In January 2002, fire destroyed the Weatherwax building of Aberdeen High School in Aberdeen, Washington. Built in 1909, the brick landmark was the heart of the community. Along with the classrooms and halls, nearly a century of school archives, trophies, and keepsakes were lost.

For thousands of alumni, their personal copies at home became the only surviving record of that history. YourYearbooks.com was created to track down, digitize, and permanently preserve these books so no school's history is ever truly lost again.

Organizing a 10, 20, 30, or 50-year high school reunion is a huge undertaking. Often, reunion committees struggle to track down accurate senior class rosters, memorial tributes for lost classmates, or high-resolution photos for slides and badges.

Your Yearbooks provides free access to full yearbook pages. Every class has its own page with the names from the senior section, a class list you can download as a spreadsheet, a slideshow mode for the venue projector, and a printable QR poster for the tables.
