The materials collected by Mrs. DeBlois include a variety of publications and ephemera associated with Expo 67. The collection includes many of the official guides and maps issued by the fair, as well as specialized pamphlets dealing with particular themes or exhibits.

The collection includes an official "passport" that was issued to ticket holders, that could be stamped by the various foreign pavilions in the manner of a real passport, and "visas" for admission to specific foreign exhibits. Of particular note is a booklet from the Soviet pavilion. The collection also includes and official guide to the 1939 New York World's Fair, a brochure on Czechoslovakia from the 1958 world's fair in Brussels, and a variety of tourist brochures from Mrs. DeBlois's later travels.
