Most are in the Buffalo collection in the Grosvenor Room, and as they are frequently used for genealogy research, cannot be borrowed or removed from the room. This collection has largely been created from kind donations, and we do not have every year for every school. Many of the early Buffalo high schools also published student literary journals, and some include lists of students. These and other relevant publications, such as alumni directories, are listed in this guide by the school name under High Schools. Some of the college yearbooks and alumni directories are stored in our Closed Stacks. They can be retrieved in minutes and the staff is happy to do so. Elementary, grammar and middle schools? There are a few in our collection; see first section below. School #51 published a yearbook called the Broadcaster. Junior High Yearbooks are listed with the High School Yearbooks. Where ELSE can I find yearbooks? Try contacting the school, if it is still in existence. Many keep archival collections pertaining to their own history, often as part of the school’s library. The Dudley Branch Library, Eden Library, and the Angola Public Library of the B&ECPL also have collections of yearbooks from the nearby area. See pages 21 & 22. Ancestry Library database contains some WNY yearbooks. The “U.S. School Yearbooks” are found in the Schools, Directories & Church Histories category. Search www.worldcat.org for a school or yearbook name for other local library holdings. 2 Elementary/Grammar School Yearbooks Name of School School address & Call Number Years We Name of Yearbook neighborhood (Buffalo Have only) Buffalo Amherst Middle School 1989 LD7501.A48 Polaris A653 104 New Amsterdam Ave, Buffalo 14216 LD7501.B9 2010, 2011 Elmwood Franklin North Buffalo .K49 106 Appenheimer Street, Buffalo Fillmore Middle School 14214 LD7501. 1975 Happening East Side / Kensington B9 F55 Buffalo Maple West Elementary.
