Wellesley Women's Institute Minutes 1919-2008

The minutes of the early years of the branch have been lost to us, but we are fortunate to have all minute books from 1919-2008 in our collection. These have been scanned and are available here. They give an intimate glimpse into village life in the post-World War I period, the Depression, World War II and its aftermath and on into the 1960s and beyond.  

Please click on the years below to access these fascinating documents.  Click here to see photos of many of the women mentioned in the minutes.
