The Stewart Bell Jr. Archives holds yearbooks from schools in the City of Winchester and Frederick County area. The Archives receives Winchester and Frederick County High School yearbooks every year. Yearbooks for other schools are acquired by donation and series are incomplete. (Please contact the Clarke County Historical Association for Clarke County schools.)
High School yearbooks are available to researchers in the Reading Room. All other yearbooks must be requested from the Rare Books collection using a green call slip. Please ask Archives Staff for assistance.
