These records contain St. Cloud State University and its predecessors yearbooks, dating 1924 to 1998. After 1971, yearbooks were published sporadically until 1998. Names include the Talahi (1924-1979), New Student Record (1983-1996), and Husky Life (1998).

Arranged chronologically, the yearbooks focus mainly on student life. The yearbooks, which were produced by students, provides a snapshot of activities, students, and other information that happened during a specific academic year (i.e. 1933/34, 1960/61) and the content can vary widely from year to year. Included in nearly all the yearbooks are portraits of senior classmen, sometimes of other underclassmen groups. Group portraits of student clubs and groups are also included, as well as images of athletic teams, sometimes as a team portrait and in action.

The yearbooks are split into three separate series.
