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.
