Century of Progress Collection

<p>The Century of Progress, Chicago’s world’s fair of 1933–1934, brought international modernism to the country’s heartland. The foreign government buildings and the progressive designs for contemporary residences and corporate exhibits introduced many Americans to the new style. Buildings of the fair are documented in building and exhibit brochures, photographs, souvenir memorabilia, and newspaper and magazine articles.</p> <p><a href="http://digital-libraries.artic.edu/cdm/search/collection/findingaids/searchterm/Century%20of%20Progress%20Collection/field/title/mode/all/conn/and/cosuppress/1">View finding aid.</a><br><a href="http://digital-libraries.artic.edu/cdm/search/collection/mqc/searchterm/Century%20of%20Progress%20Collection/field/subcol/mode/all/conn/and/cosuppress/1">View selected images from this collection.</a><br><a href="http://digital-libraries.artic.edu/cdm/search/collection/mqc/searchterm/century%20of%20progress/order/title">Find all Century of Progress digital images.</a></p> <p>Collection access:<br>Collections may be accessed in the Franke Reading Room of the Research Center at The Art Institute of Chicago, by appointment only.
