Thanks Sue. This is exactly what I needed.

I'll paste it here. It's a little long. I talked to Jeremy at (405) 527-0833. He was very helpful. Sue Hello, We are contacting you in regards to a FREE project were doing to digitize the High-School yearbooks at all of the libraries in your state. The program is called "The Yearbook Project", and it is sponsored by the Records Conversion Department at OCI; as I previously statedCOMPLETELY FREE. We even pay the S & H. The Yearbook Project came about after it was brought to our attention that high schools and local libraries throughout Oklahoma were losing their yearbooks. Some were being destroyed by natural disasters, and others were being destroyed by people cutting images out of them. Once they are gone or damaged it is nearly impossible to replace them and these yearbooks are irreplaceable because of their historical value alone. The Records Conversion and Digital Imaging departments also use this program as an advertising tool to highlight the quality of work we do here at OCI. Theres no obligation for our other services, we would just hope you keep us in mind if you ever do need them. OCI is a state agency located in Lexington, Oklahoma. Our Records Conversion department has been in business for thirty (30) years and consists of four areas; Data Entry, Digital Imaging, Image Review & Verification, and Microfilm. We do records conversion for every state agency in Oklahoma. These include; the Department of Education, Department of Human Services, Department of Labor, The Oklahoma Supreme Court, and the Attorney General's Office, just to name a few. If you would like to visit our website it is www.ocisales.com. Our overhead non-destructive scanning method ensures that the yearbooks are not damaged and that they are returned in their original condition. You can view sample yearbooks and read about Non-Destructive Scanning by clicking on the following links: Click here to view yearbook examples or Non-Destructive Scanning. The yearbooks are scanned at 300 dpi and saved in a [jpeg] format. Meaning, they are done with Publisher Quality so that libraries can digitally reprint any books, just a few pages, or a single image from the DVD for anyone who would like a copy. Benefits: Archival purposes Reduces storage space and cost Protection of valuable and irreplaceable materials Ability to provide full or partial reprints from the DVD final product DVD provides easy access and viewing of scanned material DVD allows viewing without physically handling the original material No cost to libraries participating in the Yearbook Program After the yearbooks are scanned, they are returned to your library along with a set of DVDs containing each yearbook. These DVDs belong to the library and you can then load it in your computer database for everyone to access. In addition, if you would like to contact the area high schools and add to your current collection, we will provide a second set of DVDs to share with the schools (also free) and their books would be returned to you. Just be sure to let us know which school(s) to include an extra set for. The only thing needed to be done from your side is for you and/or your staff to box them up (no more than 25-30 in a copier-paper size box, please) tape them securely and make two inventory sheets, one for yourself and one to be put in the box. Youll then call us and let us know what day you would like scheduled for pick-up and we will take care of the rest with FED-EX. We will send you the shipping-labels via-email and the books will be returned to you within 2-3 weeks. Whether you have only a few or hundreds, we would be happy to be of service to you. OCI and The Yearbook Project reserves the right to use any images it acquires for the purpose of completing a statewide archive.

"The community is incredibly fortunate to have such relevant subjects presented by librarians who are experts in their field," City Librarian Linda Dodson said. "Interest in all things genealogical continues to increase all over the nation, and these free presentations or workshops are giving us an unprecedented opportunity to learn from individuals with credentials and experience related to keeping our family history preserved and 'alive' for generations that follow. "We're also excited that SHSU's Newton Grisham Library is co-hosting; we really hope to see a good turn-out for this event." "Preserving Family Memories - Non-Digital Photographs and Other Materials" will be presented in the Huntsville Library Community Room from 9:00 a.m. - 11:30 a.m. by Felicia Williamson, MLIS, CA, who serves as the head of Thomason Special Collections at the Newton Gresham Library. Topics covered will include basic preservation with respect to records environment, storage methods, insects and other sources of decay; preserving newspaper clippings; and identifying and preserving photographs. Examples from albums and scrapbooks will be included in the presentation. "Preserving Family Memories - Digital and Other Materials" will be presented in the Huntsville Library Community Room from 1:00 p.m. - 3:30 p.m. by James Williamson, Jr., MLIS, CA, a Digital Resources Librarian with Newton Gresham Library. Topics covered will include the basics of digitization equipment; format standards; naming and organization of digital files; digital preservation and storage. Question and answer sessions will follow each presentation, and a break for independent lunch will be offered from 11:30 a.m. - 1:00 p.m. Pre-registration by November 6 is required for attendees who wish to receive lecture handouts.

Yes, they ‘archive’ a copy. They said the project was started because some schools lost their yearbooks in tornados, etc. They don't sell the copies, but there is no copyright on them.

No charge for the scanning and you get the books back unharmed and all the scans on CD's or DVD's to use as you see fit. The files are large with lots of dpi. I resized mine down by 50% to use them on the site but they are still plenty big. Those on Flickr can be left full size.

Thought someone might be interested in this project. The Jack County Public Library in Jacksboro boxed up all of the county's school yearbooks and sent them to the Oklahoma Prison System to be scanned and put on DVDs. The scans are big, good images. This is a free 'School Yearbook Digitation Project' in OK, but they also do lots of books from TX. They even pay for the shipping both ways! They said that turn-around was currently about 6 weeks. I'm giving the OK (OCI) address to our Wise County libraries. I'm hoping that they will have their books scanned. Oklahoma Correctional Industries (OCI) 16161 Moffat Rd.
