Bibliography on the History of International Exhibitions, 1851-1951

Dear Colleagues,

We would like to announce that "International Exhibitions, Expositions Universelles and World's Fairs, 1851-1951: A Bibliography," a comprehensive, web-based bibliography of secondary sources on the history of world's fairs, has been updated and expanded. With almost 1500 items, the bibliography now includes 375 more entries, covering several newly added expositions, from Australia, Brazil, Germany, Italy, and the USA, among others. There is also an Internet Resources section, with 58 web sites on numerous world's fairs, hyperlinked for the user's convenience.

The bibliography is accessible through the "Theory of Architecture" web site of Brandenburgische Technische Universität (Cottbus, Germany) as part of the journal "Wolkenkuckucksheim: Internationale Zeitschrift für Theorie und Wissenschaft der Architektur" at
http://www.theo.tu-cottbus.de/Wolke/eng/Bibliography/ExpoBibliography.htm.
It can also be viewed on the web site of the Donald G. Larson Collection on International Expositions and Fairs, 1851-1940, Special Collections Library, California State University, Fresno,
http://www.lib.csufresno.edu/SubjectResources/SpecialCollections/WorldFairs/Secondarybiblio.pdf.

From the time when the bibliography was first launched in February 2001, reactions from the scholarly community have been very positive and encouraging. The list is actively updated and augmented on an ongoing basis. We see this as an interactive, participative process. How can we improve the bibliography and make it more useful? All comments, suggestions and additions are much appreciated. URLs for any world's fair-related web site are especially welcome. Please send them to Alexander Geppert at geppert@iue.it or to Jean Coffey at jeanc@csufresno.edu.

We extend our gratitude to all those who have offered their comments and provided us with new sources. Special thanks, in particular, to Serge Noiret, Moritz Staemmler and Stephen Wildman for their suggestions and advice during the updating process, and to David Fisher for his extensive list of sources.

Yours sincerely,
