We answer many questions every day at the Oswego Public Library. Recently, we uncovered a wonderful site with the 1932 Paradox online. Enjoy this yearbook at E-Yearbook.com. The old high school and a listing of the Class of 1922 is featured at rootsweb. There are many resources at this site including a 1906 history of the churches of Oswego. More area history resources are available through the Oswego County Clerk and the online newspapers at FultonHistory.com (I would suggest searching by "the exact phrase").
We are looking for the following yearbooks to add to our collection and make available in our Local History Room:
any prior to 1926
1936
1938, 1939, 1940, 1941
1960
1964
1966
1968
1979
1985, 1986
1990, 1991
1994, 1995, 1996 |
