Ancient Baldwinsville High School Yearbooks Donated

A fabulous archive of old high school yearbooks dating from 1870 to 1926 from Baldwinsville, New York, has been donated to the Local History / Genealogy Department of the Onondaga County Public Library (OCPL.)

This collection was accumulated by aunts and relatives of Dave Rowell, and he very generously has now made them available to the public through OCPL. You will note that many of the girls’ names have their maiden names and then their married names in brackets.

These are fabulous tools for researchers in this area. Baldwinsville is one of those New York villages that a river runs through the middle of, so everything north of the river is in the Town of Lysander, and everything south is the Town of Van Buren. Most of these people would logically be from those two towns, with some probable exceptions.

OCPL also maintains another rare archive of genealogical materials on the Baldwinsville area, in that they hold the lifelong collection of Miss Lesley E. Voorhees (Class of 1889,) who researched all of her family, friends, neighbors and just about everyone that ever lived in the towns of Lysander and Van Buren. Miss Voorhees lived to almost a hundred years and her whole collection was donated to the OCPL. There is a finding aid and several indexes to the collection. Ask one of the librarians for guidance.

The following is Dave Rowell’s index to the Yearbook Collection, (published with permission):
