Digital Collections and Research (DCR) is delighted to announce the launch of the newest digital collection at the University of Maryland Libraries. "A Treasury of World's Fair Art & Architecture" <http://www.lib.umd.edu/digital/worldsfairs/> provides access to art and architecture related images, virtual museum-like curated tours, and contextual essays covering a broad number of international fairs, selected from the rich World's Fair Collection at the Architecture Library, University of Maryland (UM). Images were scanned from a variety of visual media such as photographs, stereographs, prints, which illustrated memorabilia and artifacts, such as sheet music, maps, pamphlets, trade cards, postcards, souvenir ribbons and scarves. Specific fairs were selected because of their international representation from the first international fair, the "Crystal Palace" in London (1851) through the present, although the Treasury's collection is strongest for the 1876 Philadelphia Centennial exhibition and the 1904 St. Louis Louisiana Purchase Exposition. This digital library was conceived and developed collaboratively by staff in multiple UM Libraries units, including the Art and Architecture Libraries; Digital Collections and Research, Technical Services Division, and Information Technology Division. We invite you to explore the collection by searching for specific images, exploring virtual exhibits, and reading informative essays.
