About the project

  • Yearbooks are accessible through the Louisiana Digital Library. 
  • Yearbooks were (are) loaned to the library for a period of 6-8 weeks, during which time we shipped them to our digitization vendor. They were (are) scanned, and returned to the Library.
  • The library has digitized high school yearbooks only. (9-12 or K-12 schools).
  • Middle/junior high or elementary school yearbooks are not being accepted at this time.
  • This is an ongoing project and from time to time a patron may come in asking about the project or wanting to donate a yearbook for digitization.
  • Here's a list of the yearbooks that are included in the collection. (update: August 2018)

Adding your yearbook to the collection

  • The Genealogy library is accepting high school yearbooks (NO COLLEGE OR ELEMENTARY/MIDDLE) on loan for digitization.
  • Patrons may either contact the Genealogy library at 337-721-7110, email to gen@calcasieulibrary.org, or bring any yearbooks to a branch and fill out a yearbook loan form. 
  • Our staff will check the current list of yearbooks that have been digitized to see if we need the yearbook.
    If we do not have the yearbook, you'll need to complete a loan form.
