The Auburn University Yearbook,
The Glomerata, Online

The Auburn University Libraries now offers 105 years of the Auburn University
yearbook, the Glomerata. Gloms from 1897-2003 may be viewed in
the Digital Library.

More recent editions will be added in the future. Everyone is encouraged to visit the Digital Library to experience the Auburn of their parents or grandparents or their own days on the Plains from the comfort of their computer chairs.

Original Gloms are still available in hard copy in the Special Collections and Archives Department on the ground floor of Draughon Library.

As a reminder, the directories were researched and data compiled from March through July of 2008. Any data or changes that occurred after July 21, were unfortunately too late for this directory. The next directory will be published in 2012. It's not too late to order either a CD or hardbound directory! Contact the Harris Customer Service number above to order yours.
