Administrative history
The Port Hope Old Boys' (and Girls') Association was found in 1900, during preparations for a big Old Boys reunion to be held in the Town of Port Hope. A reunion souvenir program was published in 1901 with a complete listing of former residents of Port Hope, also known as "Old Boys." Another major reunion of former Port Hope residents was held in 2012. Subsequent branches were founded in Toronto, for example, in the 1920s.
Custodial history
Donated to the Port Hope Archives by P. Bolton, 2015. Mr. Bolton received the ledger from a Skitch relative, via the Friends of Wesleyville Village.
