Hello Kevin,

I also received the same phone call and asked for information from them, and then contacted Beverly Cain at the State Library, She was going to make some calls and do some checking to see if this was legit or not.  It sounds like a great opportunity in many ways, especially since many people are scanning and putting their own yearbooks online themselves.  But for Grand Valley Public Library, we're interested in it as being able to have them stored and saved to disc as well, which we would also be able to supply a copy to our school.  We have many years that have been stolen or destroyed in our collection and have been told the same about our School's collection.

GVPL biggest fear is though sending some of our rare yearbooks or even any of yearbooks and never seeing them again.  That is why I contacted State Librarian Beverly Cain to see if she had heard anything about this.

If I find any information out about this I will be glad to pass the information along to you.  Best of luck.

Hi everyone,

I was contacted by a representative of OCI (Oklahoma Correctional Industries.) He said they are offering free digital scanning of high school yearbooks. I’m considering using their service, but would like to know if anyone else has experience with them.

Thanks!
