Help Shape Trinity’s 175th Anniversary Exhibit

Posted: July 14, 2026

As part of °ÍÀè·èÂíÐã’s 175th anniversary celebrations (1852–2027), the °ÍÀè·èÂíÐã Archives is preparing an archival exhibit exploring the people, events and stories that have shaped our community over the past 175 years. Members of the Trinity community are invited to help co-curate this exhibition by suggesting archival materials that you feel capture something important about Trinity’s history. Is there a photograph, publication, document, letter, object, or collection of records in the Archives that speaks to you? A piece of Trinity’s past that you think deserves to be highlighted? Selected items may be featured in the exhibit alongside short reflections from community members explaining why these materials matter and what they reveal about Trinity’s history.

Please send your suggestions and the stories behind them to trinity.archives@utoronto.ca. The Archives hopes to create an exhibit that reflects the many perspectives that make up Trinity’s past.
