List of U.S. collegiate yearbooks

Collegiate and university yearbooks, also called annuals, have been published by the student bodies or administration of most such schools in the United States. Because of rising costs and limited interest, many have been discontinued: From 1995 to 2013, the number of U.S. college yearbooks dropped from roughly 2,400 to 1,000. ^[1] This is a partial list of those yearbooks that have been made available for digital search and download via their school libraries or archives.

Notes

1. No longer published.
2. Cal Poly, Pomona was the southern campus of Cal Poly, San Luis Obispo during its early decades. Some editions of the yearbook were published under that school's name.
3. Not online?
4. The portal page notes Quax yearbooks prior to the 1931 Golden Jubilee edition can be a little confusing. The year in the title Does Not refer to the year the book was published, but to the junior class. So each of these books were published a year prior to the year in the title (ie: the 1924 Quax was published in 1923).
5. No yearbook 1944.
6. Not available for 1897 (composite only).
7. Several gaps.
8. The 1941 issue was called the Centurion
9. No Key yearbooks issued in 1933 or 1935.
10. Not published in 1906, published sporadically since 1972.
11. The Athena is unavailable online between 1894-1907.
12. The Makio was not published in 1881, 1893, 1979, nor from 1995-2000.
13. The Blockhouse was not produced between 1972 and 1979. The last issues were in 1981 and in 1985.
14. Not published in 1918
15. Not published in 1918, 1919, or 1997-1999.
16. The Bugle was not published in 1944 and 1945 because of low enrollment during World War II.
