Does anyone have any good ideas for reusing or repurposing high school and college yearbooks? I have several of both. My husband does also but doesn't want to get rid of his. I'm not sure why as I don't believe he has ever in 25 years of marriage looked at them.

Does his class ever have reunions? At my last reunion we took an unwanted yearbook, cut out our photos and made our name tags out of them - kind of like a before & after! Also, perhaps the school he graduated from would like them back for their archives?

Thanks, those are good ideas. However, my husband hasn't gone to a reunion in years. My high school books are from Alaska and the college ones are from Idaho and Indiana. Not sure I'll get to any of those places any time soon.

Know any paper artists? Those old photos can be used in vintage looking collages and such. I have actually made copies from my yearbooks not for the particular person in it but for the date/style image lol

I think I'll hang on to mine. I have my mother's highschool and college yearbooks. So much fun to look at and see the changes in cloths and hair styles. (FROM THE 30'S) I want my great grandkids to see how funny great grandma Belle looked when she went to school. (IN THE 50'S)
