What country are you wanting? It is not a particular British thing.

There is a growing tendency in all UK schools to have a yearbook and to have it online. Going back it varies with state schools sometimes but not often and independent schools quite often especially after 1946. Very rare to see them online though.

It does not help that state schools frequently change name / location and regime each time destroying years of records. It is easier to research the C19 online than the 1960s!
