Margaret,
In addition to other publications on the 1939 New York World's Fair, the CCA
Library has several editions of the "Official Guide Book of the New York
World's Fair, 1939", published in New York by Expositions Publications,
which has a brief (1 paragraph) entry describing Australia's exhibit. We
also have "Guide to the Pavilion of the United Kingdom, Australia, New
Zealand and the British Colonial Empire", published in London by HSMO, which
has a 2-page entry for Australia written by the Australian Government Trade
Commissioner, L. R. MacGregor.
We could easily fax you the entries.
