Aggie, Trojan and Golden Eagle Yearbook Information
From its establishment as a university research farm in 1895, the University of Minnesota, Crookston (UMC) has built a rich history and tradition of excellence. A regional residential
high school (Northwest School of Agriculture) was collocated
with the Experiment Station in 1905 operating through 1968. In response to the region's emerging need for higher education, the campus
transitioned to a two-year technical institute in 1966. In keeping with its commitment to serve the region's evolving needs, the campus sought and received University of Minnesota Regents' approval for a four-year baccalaureate mission in 1992. Today, UMC is still serving the region and is continuing to be an integral part of the University of Minnesota.

From 1910 to 1999 the school produced yearbooks, which chronicled the year’s activities, students and staff. The yearbooks not only offer a history of the faculty, staff, and students who taught, worked, and studied at the institution but they also offer an interesting history of fashion, architecture, sports, arts, and curriculum of the different eras.
The first professionally printed yearbook, published in 1912, was appropriately named the Shock. Prior to this, yearbooks were hand-produced by each class. Starting in 1913 the yearbooks were called the Red River Aggie or Aggie. Beginning in 1966, they were called the Trojan, which later was changed to the Golden Eagles. The yearbooks ceased being produced in 1999.
This site will offer the only complete collection of the yearbooks known to exist. At this time, the yearbooks from 1929 to 1999 are available. In the future, the remaining yearbooks will also be digitized. All of the yearbooks were scanned with Optical Character Recognition (OCR) software to allow for searching the documents as well as browsing the yearbooks, page by page. However, because of different font styles, handwriting, and variance in printing quality the success of the searching may vary from yearbook to yearbook.
It is our hope the yearbook digital archive will provide a meaningful connection to UMC's proud heritage. For more information see UMC History.
