Oak Park Image Archive Project

This site contains a visual history of Oak Park High School (Kansas City, Missouri) from 1965 to 2003. Most of the images were scanned from the Cambia yearbook negatives, and a few are from the Log newspaper negatives. You can see how people, fashions, the community, and the environment have changed through the years.

Photos Needed! If you have photos or negatives from the 1978-79 school year, send an e-mail to Mark Murtha. Because most of the Cambia negatives for that year were discarded due to water damage, Tenley Albright-Hansen is leading an effort to build a larger 1978-79 image collection.

You can add notes and information to any image in the collection. If you know the names of people, or have some additional information about any of the photos, click the photo to enter that information. Susan Pupkes-Carlson ('79) has done a tremendous job adding notes to many images in the collection. You can see all of the notes here.
