Historical Note

A Century of Progress was the name given to the 1933 World's Fair, held along the lakefront of Chicago from June 1-November 1, 1933, and May 26-October 31, 1934.  This was the second international exposition held in Chicago during a 40 year period: the first was the World's Columbian Exposition, which in 1893 played host to over 27 million people in Jackson Park on the city's South Side. A Century of Progress was equally as popular.  The fairgrounds bordered 37th Street on the South and Roosevelt Road on the North. Northerly Island, today known as Meig's Field, also figured prominently as a site for fair buildings and activities. 

Scope and Content

The Century of Progress Records consist primarily of printed promotional material from the Fair, as well as press releases from the Fair's publicity department and various souvenir and ephemeral items such as menus, diaries, postcards, and scrapbooks, which offer detailed and personal accounts of the Fair.  The records have been arranged into six series: General Guidebooks, Tickets and Brochures, Exhibition Publications, Special Events and Printed Souvenirs, Scrapbooks, Pre-Fair Publications, Press Releases, and Oversize Materials.  In addition are items housed in separate Oversize Folders and Photographs, both of which have separate listings following the Box and Folder Inventory.  A Videotape entitled World's Fair Archival Video, Volume 1 (New York: New Deal Films, n.d.) and located in Box 8 provides a full overview of the Ford Exhibition, with coverage of more than 30 pavilions and attractions at the fair. The tape also includes scenes from the 1940 New York World's Fair. Finally, the Century of Progress Collection contains a small number of 3-dimensional Artifacts, primarily souvenirs that could be purchased on the fairgrounds.  These items are available for viewing by appointment with the Special Collections and Preservation Division's Museum Specialist.  Among notable components of the collection are the general Printed Souvenirs, the bulk of which are tour brochures printed in conjunction with the exposition and offered by hotels, travel agencies and transportation companies. Many of these items are maps. They provide general tourist information on Chicago for the early 1930s. A provocative photo essay, Chicago on Parade (Box 5.13), offers an interesting alternative to these "sunny" promotional materials, illustrating the words of Dawes and other fair notables juxtaposed with pictures of the city's homeless and poverty-stricken.  Also of note are Pre-Fair Publications dating from 1928 to 1933. These essays and public addresses were written as part of the exposition's publicity and fundraising campaigns and cover a wide range of topics including landscape design, crowd control, traffic patterns, and treatises on fair aesthetics and architecture. Several of the publications were authored by Exposition President Rufus C. Dawes. A particularly interesting item in this series is a 1929 proposal by fair engineer Willis J. Dean. 

Photographs in the Century of Progress Collection consist of images in four distinct record groups: 

1. Postcards (1.1-1.30) 
2. Photographs taken by the Kaufmann and Fabry studio, the fair's official photographers (2.1-2.69, 4.1, 5.1-5.34, 6.1-6.129, and 7.1) 
3. A photograph album presented to Leonard Florsheim by the Century of  Progress International Exposition (See Box 10) 
4. Photographs and postcards appearing in Scrapbooks 1 and 2 (See  Box 6). In addition to the listings in this finding aid, the photographs are indexed by subject in the Division's photographic collection cabinets in the Special Collections and Preservation Division Reading Room. Aerial and bird's eye views are located under "Views" in the subject listing.
