More from the library:

The digitization of the yearbooks was funded by an Essex County Local History Grant and the Bequest of Milena Pribramska.  Maplewood Library’s Digital Archive was established in 2013 when the library digitized its hundred-year collection of the News-Record of Maplewood and South Orange (for use within the library only).  The Archive also contains the Maplewood Real Estate File, an extensive collection of historic photos and sales records of Maplewood homes, available to all on the Internet.

There are still a few gaps in the library’s yearbook collection. You can help build the archive if you happen to own any of the following yearbooks: 1917, 1918, 1919, 1925, 1952 or 2002. If so, please loan us your yearbook; we will have it digitized and then return it to you. Contact Barbara Laub at the Library for more information, blaub@maplewoodlibrary.org , 973-762-1622.
