http://www.worldcat.org/oclc/774522705

The collection consists of one 412-page bound scrapbook with a green and gold cover. The first two pages contain ticket stubs and used ticket booklets. The remainder of the scrapbook is pasted with newspaper articles arranged in chronological order documenting the Century 21 Exposition from the planning and construction stages to closing in October 1962. Later news stories describe demolition and other projects as the fairgrounds became the Seattle Center in 1964. Newspaper articles with accompanying photographs from the Seattle Times and the Seattle Post-Intelligencer describe construction projects, exhibit development, promotional activities, celebrity visits, and opening day events. Photographs include aerial city and construction views. Articles published during the fair give detailed descriptions of specific exhibits, performances, ceremonies, attendance, entertainments and various human interest stories.
