Take a piece of Cal history with you.

In 20 years, all those expensive textbooks you bought aren't really going to be useful. Maybe they'll bring back some traumatic memories of Physics 7A or that one class taught by that one guy. A college yearbook is meant to be a time capsule: you might remember clearly the excitement of Berkeley now, but you're bound to lose track of it once you get a job, start a family, and buy a house.

We have a limited number of copies.

Each year, we print around 1200 copies of the Blue & Gold. For a school of 30,000 students, we might not have any copies left if you wait 10 years after you graduate. Every year at Homecoming, alumni come in search of the Blue & Gold only to be disappointed when we don't have any copies left for sale. Take this opportunity now while we have inventory to order your yearbook!

It lasts a really long time.

Unlike other campus and student publications, the Blue & Gold is meant to last forever. It is a hardcover bound book, often coated with durable finishes to withstand many years of aging. We print in color and black and white on a high-quality press on high-quality paper, so you can be assured it will be part of your personal legacy. It is a beautiful book that is often displayed in campus offices (such as the Chancellor's) as a "face" of the University.

We've won many awards.



Please contact us.

We do have a limited quantity of many historical yearbooks, dating back as far as the late nineteenth century. If you are looking for past editions of the Blue & Gold, please contact us or visit our office in 10D Eshleman Hall (we are in the Publications Center on the ground floor). We look forward to helping you find what you need.

Archived editions are available for viewing.

If you find out that your yearbook is not available for sale, you can browse through our archives at our office. The California Alumni Association also has a set.
