Logan Public Library’s online archive offers digital access to local school yearbooks, preserving memories that might otherwise fade. These collections let alumni, students, and families revisit the faces, achievements, and spirit of past generations. By making them accessible to all, the library strengthens community ties, celebrates shared traditions, and keeps Logan’s story alive for future residents to explore and cherish.
Our current archive offers free access to yearbooks from 1945 to 1988 through a partnership with Advantage Archives Community History Archive. These priceless artifacts offer a unique glimpse into our collective past & are now accessible from anywhere in the world.

Help Us Continue Our Efforts to Protect Local History!
40 years of school yearbooks represents a mere fraction of the archival materials housed at the Logan Public Library. We have thousands of pages of documents, letters, books, periodicals, & more that are in desperate need of preservation. These preservation efforts require funding; funding that isn't always in our regular operating budget.
Our library staff is hard at work seeking out grant funding & other avenues of support to continue progress on this multi-year preservation effort. Local fundraising has begun & you can be a part of these efforts.
