Magazines and Newspapers
There have been hundreds of articles written about the 1962 Seattle World's Fair. I'm in the process of compiling a list of as many of them as possible. Those listed with clickable links are available here online. If you have articles to share online please contact me.
This is a work in progress, with lots more to come. Feel free to help me get there faster with your submissions. Copies of stories in JPG or PDF format would be greatly appreciated.
