Many websites can cater for your online Yearbook search and offer the service to find them for you with payment, so the first place to start is to contact your old school and ask them if you can order the Yearbook online - they would be able to give you information on how to order a Yearbook for the year required. Some Yearbooks may be available online in a PDF format or an online reseller may be reselling them if they are very old Yearbooks. For recent Yearbooks, you will need your student ID and possibly a code from the school you attended.
When searching online, start with the school you have attended and the year - in this new social networking age most schools would have placed their Yearbooks online recognising a market for nostalgia after the birth of such sites such as Friends Reunited. If you do not want to purchase the Yearbook then they should be easy to access and just as an electronic version, you may find that if the school is not allowing access without purchase that someone in your year may have scanned it and have it floating around on Facebook or built a website for it. There are other places where you can find the Yearbook such as online auctions and in the classified sections on online papers. You can also send out a request on most of these sites and probably discover that there are many other people looking for the same year. As mentioned before, social networking sites are fast growing and it would be unusual if you were not able to track down someone from your school who is not using Facebook Twitter or MySpace - setting up a page on one of these sites could help you track down not just your Yearbook but lost friends.
