Finding Pictures: World’s FairsHave you ever wanted to attend a World’s Fair past or present? Please join reference librarians Ryan Brubacher and Gillian Mahoney as they take you through a tour of select World’s Fairs as seen in the Prints & Photographs Division collections. While this presentation highlights four fairs spanning 1893 to 1965 in the United States, P&P’s collections include photographs, posters, design drawings and more showing the architecture, construction, and attendance of dozens of World’s Fairs – both within the United States and abroad. See the lights, attractions, and surprises offered through pictures of fairs in Chicago, San Francisco, and New York and learn recommendations from our experts for exploring the collections on your own.
