This is a great idea. This is one example but would apply to all years. We gather all the pictures we can of all the elementary schools that feed into the Ogden High School Class of 68 and print up a real nice picture book with as many names as we can find. We use this book for two things:
1. The help develope various class reunions and
2. To act as a picture archive of people that graduated for a particular school
Now this idea is great but the real "kicker" is this; we tie the book to a website so the book can be updated as to people and what they are doing, i.e. marriages, deaths, location, children, etc. The cost of the book would include access to these pictures online for research and adding comments or corrections.
The proceeds of the sale of the book would allow for funds to be contributed to the Restoration
Foundation for, in this example, Ogden High School.
There are many other applications and additional pictures but the concept would be to act as an "online archive" for the history people that we care about.
Once we have all the people names one could call a search of our site and there would be a powerpoint presentation made starting from earliest years to later years of a person. How cool would that be?
More to follow.

Wow Dave. That is very thoughtful and time consuming. You go for it!
Have you looked into other websites like Snapfish.com, Shutterfly.com? How about MyPublisher.com? (MyPublisher is a little more invasive on the computer, you have to have the program on your computer whereas the other two are online completely.) We use these three in our family to send books, calendars, etc for gifts.
Good luck!
