World's Fairs are very special times and
places. For all too brief a time they transform an everyday setting into
someplace magical, one of exotic landscapes, international foods and visitors,
playful architecture and projections of the future. Although they are with us
for just a short time, they often leave long-lasting memories with those lucky
enough to attend. Happily, they also leave behind a wide array of souvenirs,
including photographs that forever memorialize these international galas.
I have long been interested in world's fairs,
and have been fortunate enough to have visited several of them. Over the years I
have collected thousands of photos and am pleased to
be able to share some of them with you on this site. I hope that they provide
you an enjoyable trip back in time.

Search This Site
| Here are some hints on getting
better results from the search engine. A search for more than one word
will result in a list of any page that has any of the words in it.
That means a search for ANY WORD would return a page if it has ANY or WORD
in it. To restrict the results to just those pages with both words, place
a "+" sign in front, as in +ANY +WORD. Likewise, a "-" sign will drop any
page with that word in it from the results. Please note that the search engine will look for exactly
what you ask for, and it isn't smart enough to look for variations. If you ask
for "us pavilion" it won't find an entry for "U.S. Pavilion"
due to the missing punctuation. Likewise, a search for "new york world's fair
sinclair dinosaurs" will not turn up a result unless that exact phrase was
used, so a better search would just be for "dinosaurs". Please try
variations on your search if you're not successful at first. |
