I ask only once a year: please help the Internet Archive today. Right now, we have a 2-to-1 Matching Gift Campaign, so you can triple your impact! Most can’t afford to give, but we hope you can. The average donation is $45. If everyone reading this chips in just $5, we can end this fundraiser today. All we need is the price of a paperback book to sustain a non-profit website the whole world depends on. We have only 150 staff but run one of the world’s top websites. We’re dedicated to reader privacy so we never track you. We never accept ads. But we still need to pay for servers and staff. I know we could charge money, but then we couldn’t achieve our mission: a free online library for everyone. This is our day. Today. To bring the best, most trustworthy information to every internet reader. I believe all of this is doable, if we pull together to create the internet as it was meant to be. The Great Library for all. The Internet Archive is a bargain, but we need your help. If you find our site useful, please chip in. Thank you.

Together we are building the public libraries of the future.
In 1908, the Virginia legislature created the State Normal and Industrial School for Women, and chartered it as a school to train public school teachers. The first day of classes was September 30, 1909, with 209 students as the total enrollment for the first year. Two years later, in June 1911, 20 students became a part of the first graduating class. By 1954 the College had moved well beyond the original curriculum of solely training public school teachers and was authorized to grant masters degrees, with doctoral programs soon to follow. Although men had been attending what was then Madison College since 1946 the campus did not become fully co-educational until 1966. Since its founding in 1908, the institution has undergone five name changes: State Normal and Industrial School for Women (1908), State Normal School for Women (1914), State Teachers College (1924), Madison College (1938), and James Madison University (1977).
This collection of yearbooks ranges from 1910 to 2011. The first yearbook, The Schoolma'am, was consecutively published until 1961 when the official name was changed to Bluestone.
