Would you like to see a 1975 Grand Forks city atlas? Do you have any interest in the yearbook from Central High School in 1911?

… There are cemetery books from more than 20 North Dakota counties and from four Minnesota counties. There are hard copies of most Grand Forks City Directories from 1896 to this year. The directories also are available on microfiche from 1882 to 1977.
The Grand Forks Room has become a repository for Grand Forks city yearbooks, and the librarians would welcome donations of yearbooks from patrons.

The library also has Dacotah yearbooks from UND for the years 1904 to 1971, with a few missing.
