World’s Fair Symposium
April 1st, 2005
I found about the World’s Fair Symposium today while looking for something on the Getty Research Institute site. It is an Organization of American Historians (OAH) preconference concluding today in San Francisco. It is being held in conjunction with the Special Collections Library at California State University, Fresno, home of the Donald G. Larson Collection on International Expositions and Fairs, 1851-1940.
I wish I had known about this sooner, as world’s fairs are one of my pet research interests. Anyhow, if you are curious about what world’s fair researchers are studying, the World’s Fair Symposium site (linked above) has a list of presenters and paper topics. And, if you are interested in the history of collecting, the Getty Institute’s Events Related to Collecting page is a great resource for conferences, exhibitions and similar events in this field.
