I'm working on a project to scan as many of the old GHS Yearbooks as I can find. I plan to put them on CDs and
provide copies to the GHS LIbrary as well as the public library. In addition, the San Antonio public library will maintain
copies in its genealogy section.
I have the following years completed and on CD; 1911, 1923, 1927. 1928, and 1957 through 1965. Currently in process
are 1950 through 1956.
The old year books are great fun to read. I figured preserving the old ones on CD will provide a permanent storage
in case of a disaster as well as make it easy to provide copies to those who may have lost theirs.
If anyone has a yearbook and is willing to lend it for a short period, I would love to borrow it long enough to scan
the book. It takes me about two weeks to complete the scan and I do not damage the book in the scanning process.
(The actual time depends on my other workload!)
I will reimburse postage charges, if you like, to anyone sending some yearbooks. Typical postage charges
range from $4.00 to $15.00, depending on the weight. I recommend shipping via USPS Priority (2 - 3 day delivery)
mail.
If you would like to help further this project by providing a year book, please contact me at
