Bellevue High School has yearbooks (The Beacon) going back to 1924 stored in the back room of the Library. The older yearbooks are fragile and important to the history of BHS, so it is important for stakeholders to be able to access them. I created an Online Archive complete through 1950 so that anyone can access our Beacon collection at any time without negative consequences for the materials. This project makes a difference for our Bellevue community because now students, staff, alumni, and community members can access these historical documents and learn about the history of BHS.
