yearbooks
The Kansas City Area Yearbooks Collection is comprised of over 1,000 digitized yearbooks. Each volume can be accessed as a text searchable PDF. While a large number of the yearbooks in this collection represent the Kansas City, Missouri, School District, many others from suburban, rural, private and parochial schools from the wider Kansas City area have been included. The yearbooks can be found by searching KCHistory, or by browsing this page.
At this time, only high school yearbooks have been made digitally available to site users. Physical copies of elementary, middle & junior high schools, college & trade school yearbooks can be viewed by visiting the Missouri Valley Room on the 5th floor of the Central Library. A list of all available yearbook volumes can be viewed here.
