When I worked at a non-profit community museum that had evolved from a
school district museum, we sold our multiple copies outright at $10 each,
and got many purchasers close to the gift-giving holidays.  There would also
be heavy demand close to class reunion dates. This was a fairly stable
community, it had grown a lot but many of the people who had attended the
high schools there were still living in the area. It turned out to be a
great gift for the former flat-top and crinoline set (and beyond), and was a
great boost for our collections care budget.

Subject: Re: Duplicate Yearbooks - what to do with them?

Hi Kaia,
How about donating them to the schools that they came from?  Many have
alumni associations that may hold collections of past yearbooks, or may be
able to distribute them to appropriate alumni.  Hope this helps.
Sincerely,
