Posted on September 2, 2010
Ancestry.com has expanded its yearbook database. There are now more than 60 million yearbook records available in the site's U.S. School Yearbook collection. The collection includes class and candid photos of famous celebrities, including Sandra Bullock, Betty White and Will Smith.
The 10,000 yearbooks included in the new U.S. School Yearbook collection feature yearbooks from high schools, junior highs, academies, colleges, and universities from almost every state in the United States spanning 1875-1988. Ancestry charges a membership fee to access its databases, but does offer a 14-day free trial.
Update: In August 2019, Ancestry.com added more than 100,000 new yearbooks to its existing collection—totaling over 400,000 from all 50 states.
