Its Alumnae Association was created in 1915 and is still active today.&nbsp; In 2011 The Association donated its collections of papers and artifacts to the Toronto Metropolitan University Archives (see&nbsp;earlier blog post&nbsp;<a title=\"Wellesley Alumnae\" href=\"https:\/\/library.torontomu.ca\/asc\/2011\/08\/feature-from-the-collection-wellesley-hospital-school-of-nursing\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\"><span style=\"color: #3366ff;\">Wellesley Alumnae donation&nbsp;<\/span><\/a>)<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>To celebrate Wellesley&#8217;s&nbsp;centennial, the Ryerson Archives has created an exhibit and slide show. Both will be available for viewing in the Archives until the end of September.&nbsp; The Archives will be open for Alumni weekend on Saturday September 22.&nbsp;Contact us at (416) 979 5000 ext. 7027 to find out opening times for that day.
