History
In 1901, students produced the very first Georgetown University yearbook.
Several of the pre-WWI volumes were created by Georgetown law students, so coverage is limited to that school. Various titles have graced the cover of our yearbook, but Ye Domesday Booke has been used consistently since 1908.
The content of each yearbook provides a vast amount of information about student life that academic year. Images on every page document student organizations and activities, athletics events, and changes around campus. Ye Domesday Book also highlights individual students and faculty members.
This Georgetown University Library collection offers digitized issues of Ye Domesday Booke through 2011. Original hard copies of yearbooks (including Domesday Bookes and school-specific yearbooks such as the Caduceus produced by nursing students between 1948 and 1969) are available in the University Archives. Researchers should note that no Domesday Bookes were published in 1903, 1906, 1907, 1945, and 1946.
