You never know when interest may revive, however, and if you have any sort of anniversary, yearbooks can be an invaluable resource. I've used yearbooks extensively for the 50th anniversary celebrations of the College of Medicine- mostly for digital images of faculty action shots, and student action shots. I also have had numerous requests for pictures from thus and such a year retirement celebrations, etc. Nina S-R >>> "Eric v.d.

They're fun and useful. But if the students are no longer interested, then there's no longer any reason to produce one. Sad but true. Let it die. FWIW Eric (former yearbook editor) Eric v.d.
