Old Santa Barbara High Yearbooks
By Greg
Can Edhat readers suggest options with these SBHS Olive and Gold Yearbooks from 1916 and 1918. Have no idea how these came into my possession. Are they of value to anyone?

Mar 11, 2021 01:05 PMDid you ask the librarian at Santa Barbara High School?
Past experience: my mother's high school was very appreciative when I donated her yearbooks, circa 1937, to them.

Mar 12, 2021 12:34 AMPlease give them to the high school library or ask SB Historical Museum or other local appropriate group if they want them. Make sure they already have them, available to the public, before you give them away or sell them. I'm just a believer that historical documents should be available to the public, to us.

Mar 12, 2021 06:46 AMWhile a private party would love to have them, particularly for free or resale, because they are over 100 years old, they should go to a museum or to the high school so anyone can see them or look up ancestors. No one alive now has their pictures in them.

Mar 12, 2021 07:29 AMYES! Please consider donating them to the Santa Barbara County Genealogical Society for their Sahyun Library. There is a section on the library shelves for yearbooks from our area schools. The library is open and free to the general public. (They also welcome membership.) This would be an excellent donation, as the yearbooks will be easily (and safely) accessible to the community. Type in "sbcgs" and that should get you directly to their website. You can make contact there. Highly reputable and respected non-profit group.

Mar 12, 2021 08:22 AMThe SBHS Alumni Association is happy to receive donations of yearbooks and other memorabilia...sports programs, theatre programs, literally anything "Don." Items can be dropped off at the library or to the Principal's secretary. If you need or want a particular yearbook, we can supply one for a donation to our scholarship fund for graduating seniors. Any questions? Our email address is sbhsalumiassoc@gmail.com.

Mar 12, 2021 09:13 AMWould be fun to see what happened to the Class of 1917 and 1918.
Even The Statistics would be interesting? Or find the Bios from Obits?
And think of the changes they saw in the world or technology. Events.
They still make Birthday Cards that tell what was going on in the year
someone was born. Or can use them for Graduation information also.
So these grads were born Centurions - or around 1900. Or "The Y1.9Ks".
Or 'Gen T'?
