The Carnegie Institution of Washington used to use this model — each year publishing a 'year book.' From 1902 through the 1980s, Institution funded scientists contributed detail reports — including figures and even new results — to the organizations Year Book. Year Books often exceeded 700+ pages.

Today, the Year Book is little more than a glossy fundraising document.
