COLUMBIA EXPOSITION INTERNET RESOURCES

Richard Giles submitted these links in response to Jerry Fochtman query about U.s. treasury Department exhibits at the 1893 Columbian Exposition. Thanks. -Editor

Columbian Expo catalog cover A digitized version of Official catalog of 1893 Columbian Exposition: The World's Columbian Exposition, Chicago, 1893 (books.google.com/books?id=It2xI5M9uQAC)

I only found a paragraph or so about the Treasury exhibits (o p478), but it's an interesting read regardless. -Editor

Type "1893 columbian exposition" into Google Image - will locate images. Examples:
