Posted byThe University of Iowa LibrariesPosted inNews

Yesterday’s “Map of the Day” from National Geographic came from the UI Libraries.

The map is from the Official Guide Book of the New York’s World Fair, 1939. The Special Collections department also has a small World’s Fair Collection (MsC840) with materials such as guidebooks and catalogs from 1893-2005 (including other materials from the 1939 New York World’s Fair), and with postcards from as early as the 1850s.
