Trying to find South Carolina yearbooks? This is the place to find free online yearbooks.
Why? Yearbooks from high school or college are one of the most fun records for a genealogist to search. It provides you with a wealth 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 became 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 of the 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, it means that multiple sites offer the same school’s yearbooks online.
