With the kids going back to school, some Beaufortonians might be nostalgic for their own school days! Never fear - the Beaufort District Collection (BDC) has plenty of school-related materials that can help researchers learn and reminisce about their BCSD alma mater. Sydney wrote a BDC Connections post in August that gives readers a peek at what we've got. We would say that the BDC's most requested materials are school yearbooks. From student portraits, sports highlights, and business ads, yearbooks contain a treasure trove of information! If you are curious about what yearbooks the BDC has available, take a look at our inventory of yearbooks and school annuals. |
