Jonathan Dayton Yearbooks Now Available Online

Flipping through old high school yearbooks without getting off the couch just got a lot easier for some Jonathan Dayton High School graduates.

Yearbooks spanning years 1940 through 1969 and 1980 through 2007 have been digitized and are now available online for viewing and downloading as a result of Springfield Public Library being selected as the grand prize winner of the EMC Corporation Heritage Trust contest.

The Trust Project recognizes and supports digital stewardship of the world's information heritage in local communities, according to its website. Three cash grants are awarded in the amounts of $5,000, $10,000, and $15,000. The library is using the prize money to digitize local historical documents and make them available online. 

To view the yearbooks, visit Springfield Free Public Library section of the Internet Archive's American Libraries site.
