The collection contains over 1,800 individual images and provides a comprehensive visual documentation of the 1962 Seattle World's Fair (Century 21 Exposition.) Many of the images were acquired while Straley was active in the planning and construction phases of the fair. The collection includes over 200 captioned portraits of fair planners, politicians, and management. Later photographs show completed exhibits, buildings, ceremonies, celebrities, and attractions during the fair's run from 21 Apr. to 21 Oct. 1962. The photographs and slides are organized into thirty-six subject categories.
