September 1, 2011: New Biblion Website from the NY Public Library

New Biblion World's Fair Website from the New York Public LibraryExciting news for 1939 NY World’s Fair fans. Mr. David Riordan from the New York Public Library wrote saying, “we’ve launched Biblion: World’s Fair as a website. Everything from the app is there, including never-before seen photos, architectural drawings, news clippings, and memos.”

A quote from the Biblion home page: “… Experience documents, images, films, audio, and essays directly from the collections — and explore not only what the Fair teaches us about the past, but also the future…”

For all of us who enjoy the ’39-’40 Fair this is a wonderful addition to the information available on the Web. Thank you NYPL!

    I am a collector of 1939 WF stuff and recently came across an old magazine dated 1939. Titled “The Yachtsmen’s Magazine, Motor Boating”. In it is a story, pictures, and maps relating to how boat owners can get to the fair. The story is titled “Your cruise to the New York World’s Fair, by Edward F. Kenny, editor The Flushing meadow improvement. Is this of any interest to the library?

    I visited the fair as a child and have a few artifacts from that visit which prompted me to start collecting.
