The Renville County Historical Society needs your help to add to the Research Library’s Yearbook Collection. The list below is the current copies we have in the Research Library. If you have yearbooks to donate please contact Nicole at the Museum director@renvillecountyhistory.com or 507.697.6147! Yearbooks and phonebooks are key pieces of preserving the history of who lived in the area and when. It is the goal of the Collections Committee to collect 3 copies of each yearbook.
If you are not ready to part with your yearbook that is ok, we have the capability to scan the yearbook and return it to you. For the past three years, we have been working on getting the yearbook collection scanned into PDFs. Visit our Facebook Page for featured yearbooks.
