Student yearbooks from the Henderson Institute, an African American school located in Vance County, are now available in the North Carolina High School Yearbooks collection. The Henderson Institute was founded in 1891 and served the community in and around Henderson, N.C. until its closing in 1970.  The original yearbooks, ranging from 1952 to 1970, are held by the Henderson Institute Historical Museum, which documents and preserves the history of the school and works closely with the Institute’s active alumni group.
