Return To Lakewood Public LibraryThe Anthony J. DiBiasio Jr. Archives
Established by the Board of the Lakewood Public Schools Alumni Foundation (LPSAF), the Anthony J. DiBiasio, Jr. Memorial Archives collects the historical record of the Lakewood Public Schools. Artifacts, correspondence, memorabilia, photographs, publications, scrapbooks, even a graduation dress worn in 1924 have been collected over the years by the Alumni Office and have been arranged and described by Nora (O’Sullivan) Blackman, Archivist and LHS class of 1979.
