    • Regarding Yearbooks
      • High school yearbooks are embargoed for four years after the date of publication in order to protect the privacy of minors.  Descriptive information is still available for yearbooks within this time frame. The following note is present in each relevant yearbook record:  “Online viewing of images in this yearbook is restricted until June [year] due to privacy concerns around the depiction of minors. For more information, or to view the original yearbook, please contact the contributing institution directly.”   Annually (during the first week of June) HSLC staff will release any yearbook for which an embargo is expiring and send a confirmation email to the collection manager for that yearbook’s collection.
