yearbooks
Graduation memento books
Yearbooks are annual publications documenting a year's events, typically produced by schools to chronicle the academic year with photographs of students, faculty, and activities.
High school and college yearbooks serve as keepsakes: We spent hours signing each other's yearbooks.
Organizations and institutions also publish yearbooks as annual reports or reference compilations.
