Columbian Exposition Updates
Columbian Exposition, Currier and Ives. Library of Congress neg. no. LC-USZC2-3394
I am constantly amazed at the amount of information about the Columbian Exposition available on the Internet. There is always a new website or book to explore. Since this is “Fair” week for my Chicago History blogs, I’m updating the links. I have also added a new section of fictional books set at the Fair which should provide some fun reading. Columbian Exposition collectors provide some of the most interesting pages also. I still need to go through the Journal and pull miscellaneous links, but I’ll get to it. There is a great deal more work to do on transferring links. I hope you are enjoying this new format for Chicago history links.
So… I was wondering… I am doing my history fair project on the columbian exposition and i was wondering if you had any advise to say which in particular websites i should go on or museums?

Jackie,
Start with the Chicago History Museum History Files on the Exposition. The Paul Galvin site is also very good. It really depends on your topic. The Guidebooks are also helpful.
