United States Naval Academy - The Lucky Bag Yearbook Archive, 1858-1970
In 1894, the inaugural issue of the Lucky Bag was produced by an editorial board of five midshipmen and quickly developed into the annual yearbook of the United States Naval Academy that’s published by the First Class of each succeeding class of midshipmen. The Lucky Bag, from its first issue through the 1970 issue has been digitized as part of a partnership with the Naval Postgraduate School, the Naval War College, and the Internet Archive.
United States Naval Academy - Class Photograph Albums, 1860-1902
Prior to the publication of the first issue of the Lucky Bag in 1894, the role of the yearbook at the Naval Academy was played largely by class photograph albums. These albums, many of which are the product of the studios of F. M. Zuller and F. Gutekunst, consist of portraits of individual midshipmen, as well as occasional photographs of Naval Academy faculty, buildings, and grounds. Consisting of 23 volumes, the collection spans from the Class of 1860 through the Class of 1902.
