The response we have received so far has been amazing as we work to build a comprehensive collection of Michigan yearbooks. We also appreciate the efforts by everyone who has assisted in publicizing the project. Despite the response so far, there are still many schools not represented in the Library of Michigan's yearbook collection. Look for periodic posts about the initiative on the Library of Michigan's social media accounts as the campaign continues throughout the fall season.
