where can i go to find old yearbooks?

Question

mckeesport high school 1979 or 1980

Answer 1

The high school itself. Call the library there, ask if they have them (most do), ask about looking at them. You'll probably have to sign in at the school office, since they don't want strangers wandering the halls. You'll have to go during school hours, too. A used book store in McKeesport might have them, or the local history room of the county library, but the high school library is your best bet.

Answer 2

Are you aware that ancestry.com now has a database for "U.S. School Yearbooks"? There are even some junior high books online. The database is not huge, but McKeesport H.S. in PA does have 2 complete yearbooks online at this time. Unfortunately, the years are 1932 and 1943. But, if you know of some old timers from that area, you can see what they looked like in their salad days. (grin)

The suggestions of the others who responded are good ones. Most school librarians are given at least one school yearbook to include in the library collection. So, if you contact the school, hopefully, you will find a friendly librarian. This may not be the best time of the year as this is the 'busy season' for librarians in some parts of the country. I know our middle school librarian is in the book collecting process at the moment.
