The exhibition will be repeated at the, library between September 11 and 16.
As part of the centenary celebrations, a dinner will be held at St Alban's Church Hall in Liscard on September 16.
The first annual general meeting of Wallasey Harriers was held at the headquarters, Oarside Farm on September 26, 1906. There were a number of Harrier clubs in the Wallasey area at that time and Wallasey Harriers was formed by the members of Liscard Congregational Harriers, named after the church of the same name in Rake Lane.
In 1908 the club amalgamated with Homecroft Athletic Club to form the renamed Wallasey Athletic Club.
Anyone who would like to attend the dinner or has memorabilia which could be included in one of the displays, should contact Bob Brimage on 0151-677 7380.
