North Fond du Lac Yearbooks
This collection contains North Fond du Lac School yearbooks, currently starting with the year 1956, and covering most years up to the year 1985. (Yearbooks will leave at least a 10-year gap to present to allow school yearbook sales to not be affected by the digital collection.) Early yearbooks were called “The Oriole” and later yearbooks transitioned to the name “Horace Mann High School Yearbook.” Yearbooks display photos of students, faculty, and student sports activities and academic clubs.
Oshkosh Yearbooks
This collection contains 138 issues of The Index, the Oshkosh High School student publication, dating between 1906 and 1940. The Index began as a monthly school publication containing poetry, short creative writings, editorials, alumni information, student photos, sports statistics and summaries, and other writings and reporting about various school events and issues. Winter and Spring issues included photos of graduating students. The Index became an annual yearbook in 1926.

Portage County Public Library
The Portage County Public Library collection contains Tattler yearbooks from 1916 to 1976, covering Stevens Point High School, Emerson High School, PJ Jacobs High School, and Stevens Point Area Senior High.
Quiver Yearbooks 1897-1974
From 1897-1974, The Quiver yearbook recorded the people, activities and achievements of the University of Wisconsin Oshkosh and its predecessor institutions (Oshkosh Normal School, Oshkosh State Teachers College, Oshkosh State College and WSU Oshkosh). The pages of the school’s annual document the evolution of a campus growing from a teachers training institution of 700 students into a comprehensive university of over 10,000 and a member of one of the country’s greatest public university systems. UW Oshkosh Libraries present the 1897-1974 run of The Quiver yearbooks in its entirety and mostly free of omission, as the volumes appeared in the years they were produced. In some issues, The Quiver included images and content that are offensive and that UW Oshkosh Libraries does not condone. UW Oshkosh Libraries provide access to this material as a historical resource for study and understanding. In only three exceptions were images blurred to obscure images of human remains and possible funerary objects in archaeological contexts to comply with the spirit of the Native American Graves Protection and Repatriation Act.
