Yearbooks
The Internet Archive (archive.org) has a collection of more than 92,000 yearbooks. We didn't find any from Hernando County but you might get lucky and find one helpful for your genealogy research.
Not all are school yearbooks- some are related to professional associations, such as the Yearbook of the City Managers Association 1920.
Scroll down just a bit and you will see on the left side of the page a "Search this collection" box.
