The Provo City Library at Academy Square has created a special collection of Brigham Young High School annual yearbooks, and to date, has one or more volumes from 1956 to the final year in 1968.

In addition, the first BYU Banyan yearbook was published in 1909. It had a Brigham Young High School section, but only photos, no names. From that time through 1931, several pages in each BYU yearbook were devoted to BY High, and many of these included both photos and names. In 1932, no BYH pages are found in the BYU Banyan yearbook, and no BYH yearbook was published.

BY High students published their first yearbook in 1911, but did not do so again until 1933. From 1933 to 1968, BY High published its traditional Wildcat yearbook. The Special Collection at the Provo City Library lacks volumes from 1911 up to and including 1955.

If you have historic Brigham Young High School yearbooks or BYU Banyans in your family, and you are interested in preserving them, please consider donating them to the BYH Special Collection at the Provo City Library at Academy Square. Please contact:

Note: The goal of the Provo City Library collection of BYH yearbooks is to preserve two volumes, for each year. They already have one or more volumes from 1956 to 1968, so their main focus is on collecting yearbooks for years earlier than 1956. Please call 801-852-6668 before sending your books to make sure they are needed in the latest collection plan.

BYU Special Collections in the Harold B. Lee Library is accepting donations of other types of historic BYH memorabilia: student newspapers, literary magazines, programs, uniforms, buttons, etc. Please carefully organize your collection, write a one-paragraph explanation of the significance of each item or group of items [for "provenance"], then contact the BYU Archives:
