Yearbooks from high school or college are one of the most fun sets of records for a genealogist to search. It provides you with a ton of story-like information about your ancestor’s life. What their interests were, what sports and clubs they participated in, and often some goofy snapshots of them before they settled into being an adult. And of course, you get to see what they looked like.
Here are a few articles that may convince you to research these gems:
- Using Yearbooks For Genealogical Research
- A Genealogy Education is in School Yearbooks
- Genealogy 101: School Yearbooks
And here is an article providing information on where else you can find online yearbooks; some need a subscription and some do not:
Below is a list of links to free online yearbooks from the state:
Please note that some yearbooks are not searchable but are an image of each page in the yearbook.
Please note that there may seem to be duplicates. If there are, that means that there are multiple sites where the same school’s yearbooks are available online (but not necessarily the same years, so it is good to check all the links).

One reply on “Free Iowa High School and College Yearbooks Online”
I was curious if you had a yearbook for Lamont Consolidated Schools (High School) about 1943. I am searching for a class picture for Eugene Quinn. I believe this may be in Buchanon County but I may be wrong about that. Thank you for any replies.
