About
School Publications
School publications include anything that was directly produced, published, or distributed by the college. This includes things like yearbooks, The Thunderer, music, and more.
Do You Have Something to Donate?
We are looking for missing issues of The Thunderer, extra copies of yearbooks from the 1970s, chapel recordings, copies of recorded music, and anything else that fits the description of school publications. Please contact the library at aiclibrary@nelson.edu if you have any copies of a school publication that you are willing to donate or share for a short time to be digitized.
Yearbooks
Bring on the memories!! We have digitized yearbooks from Fall 1969 to Spring 2008. The Fall 2008 to Spring 2009 yearbook is a DVD available in-house.
Note: Yearbooks are very large files (most are 200 MB+). You will need to download them from Google Drive to view them. It will take a minute for the file to load.
