This series of 1450 photographs of Jamaica Plain houses and other buildings was taken by Mark Bulger in the summer and fall of 2008.

Do you have a Jamaica Plain High School Yearbook not listed above? Would you consider loaning it to us for a few weeks so we could scan it and then safely return it to you? If so, please write us using the “Contact Us” link on the left side of this page. If you are able to scan the yearbook yourself and send us a CD, all the better. Please read our technical specifications for scanning before you get started and make sure we don’t already have the yearbook in the process of being scanned.
