​Oklahoma Correctional Institute began their Digital Imaging Service in 2012. Traverse​
​Area District Library was contacted to see if they would be willing to send their physical​
​copies of high school yearbooks from their region to be digitized. The service was​
​offered for free. After checking on security and safety issues, Traverse Area District​
​Library greenlighted the project. The archivist at the time, Amy Barritt, was tasked with​
​ensuring the yearbooks were safely delivered and retrieved, and with ensuring that the​
​digital copies received were of preservation quality. The end product was excellent. The​
​TIFF files received were then given to an in-house volunteer of the Library, who​
​converted the images into PDF, providing a copy that better met users' needs. The PDF​
​copies are available for download at localhistory.tadl.org. Currently, only yearbooks​
​published from 1900-1940 are available online. This date was set by the Library for​
​personal security reasons, as much of the same information in the yearbooks can be​
​found in federal census records, and the most recent available census is 1940.​
​ cope and Content Note:​
S
​The collection contains 106 compact discs. Many of the discs have multiple volumes of​
​the yearbooks on them. Collection is organized by the originating institution, then​
​chronologically.​
