Romulus Yearbooks

The Romulus Public Library is digitizing every year of the Romulus High School Yearbook from 1945 to current year. 1945 was the first published yearbook in a proper yearbook format.

We have physical copies of most yearbooks available for viewing in the library. Speak with a staff member at the circulation desk to view a yearbook. Patrons must leave a driver’s license or state ID with staff; license/ID will be returned when the yearbook is returned.

PLEASE NOTE:

Yearbooks never leave the building for physical viewing.

The following years are not available for physical viewing: 1945, 2004, 2014, 2015, and 2017. These were scanned thanks to the Romulus High School loaning us their copies. We do not have them for in-person viewing.

We only posts yearbooks that are older than 5 years.

Images were scanned to the best of our ability and the equipment available.

Romulus Middle School Yearbooks

These are the only years we have of Romulus Middle School’s yearbooks. Please note most of these were loaned to the library by Romulus Public Schools. We only have 1989, 1992, 1995, 1999, 2003, 2004, 2010, and 2014 in physical form to be looked at in the library.

Special Thanks:

We would like to thank Councilwoman Abdo for helping to assist in tracking down yearbooks we needed. We would like to thank Ms. Varner at the Romulus Historical Museum for letting us digitize the 1945 yearbook. We would also like to thank Romulus Community Schools for loaning us missing yearbooks and Mrs. Garrison for aiding the library. We would also like to thank NHS volunteers who took part in the process and of course our fantastic library assistants who digitized 77 years of yearbooks.

It is because of people and groups like these the library was successful in digitizing the entire history of the Romulus High School yearbooks. We were also able to digitize a nice size portion of the Middle School yearbooks. Thanks again!

Romulus Historic Newspapers

The Romulus Newspaper Digitizing Project began in December 2011 and was completed in December 2020 under the direction of Library Director Patty Braden. Romulus and Huron Township newspapers dated 1968 – 2008 were digitized, making historic full-text articles and images available and searchable online 24/7. Titles include Romulus Roman, Romulus News, and scattered years of The Little Paper, Huron News, Huron River Weekly, and Huron Highlighter. Search the library’s full historical newspaper collection on Internet Archive, or search individual editions using the links below.

Thank you to our generous donors whose dedication to preserving the past made this project possible:

Diane Hazen, Romulus Rotary Club, Greater Romulus Chamber of Commerce, and library patrons

Access the full text of the Romulus Roman from 1968-2008 using the links below. The current electronic edition of The Romulus Roman/The Eagle is available online.
