The digitized collection includes images of thirty-three pages from the Altoona Area High School’s yearbook for the 1971 to 1972 academic school year; the work was donated by an alumnus from the senior class of 1972. The section of the yearbook proposed for digitization is entitled “the year.” A description of the pages found ahead is provided that explains the purpose of the section within the work. It testifies that the authors had a hard time describing the entire year and used questionnaires as their methodology to obtain depictions of the year from the senior class. The pages following the brief description go through the academic year, with approximately one month per two pages. Surrounding the few paragraphs recounting the month are images that consist of mostly black and white pictures, however, there are a few pages that are chiefly color. One of the samples provided, for example, is for the first month of the new school year. It starts off stating the month, September, along with a headline. In this example the headline is, “It looked promising as activities boasted potential and enthusiasm.” The black and white images around the month description contain descriptions of the image and names individuals, if present. The second sample, which include images that are fully color, offers users to see the events of the high schoolers when at a celebration. The images include students, and teachers, participating in carnival rides and playing a game of miniature golf. Since the images are in color, users can also view the color palettes of the fashions from that time. The work captured the events that happened during the school year, month by month. This includes the demolition of 14th St. Church, water fountains that seeped cloudy water that smelled like fish and the day police swarmed the halls searching lockers due to a bomb threat. The yearbook will be added as a complimentary piece in Altoona Area Library’s virtual collections, Local History and Genealogy and the Pennsylvania Room. The library would capture this to educate our community with this rich history of the area’s past. The current digital resources used for local history include the city, county, and communities surrounded by Altoona, which includes images and history books. The Pennsylvania Room includes books that are significant to the local community. The collection includes illustrations and images. In addition to the above offerings, the Blair County Genealogical Society has offered the library their resources for genealogical research which would be helpful for individuals searching for their history and to then find what was occurring at the high school of their relatives. The yearbook is an excellent resource for a timeline for individuals interested in learning, or re-living, the past. The new collection will aid Penn State—Altoona’s undergraduates of history and sociology in their intellectual pursuit to degrees. Individuals will explore the period when where the Volkswagen Beetle, miniskirts with white knee-high socks, and bell bottoms, were popular trends.
