THE ARCHIVES BEHIND THE FAIR
A photograph can settle a question—or raise another one. Here you’ll find the maps, images and accounts we’ve examined, along with leads we still need to follow. Each record explains what we could access and where to look for the original or a better copy.
A downloaded book may have only a few pages reviewed. A collection guide describes material we may not have seen at all. Crops and repeated pictures can come from the same original. We keep those distinctions visible, and a catalogue date is not always the date an image was made.
Access notes describe our recorded attempt, not a live availability check. A failed download does not establish that an item is offline. Rights assessments below use publication evidence where we have it. Availability of a better scan is a separate question for the holder.
A website hosting a scan is not necessarily the institution holding the original. We retain the recorded repository or contributor and mark physical holders that still need confirmation.
Many maps, books and printed photographs here are public domain in the United States because their copyright term has expired. We record the evidence and use RightsStatements.org’s standard labels, including “No Copyright - United States.” These are our assessments, alongside the institution’s original wording.
Our date checks follow the U.S. Copyright Office’s guidance on copyright duration and older foreign publications. A date of creation is different from a date of publication. Unpublished diaries, modern photographs and new writing may need separate treatment. A U.S. status does not settle rights in every country.
Have a photograph, a correction or a question about an image here? Contact Andy McKay at explore1904@gmail.com. A source ID or link will help us find the right record.

What we have examined September 7: parent visually inspected native Brazil/Nicaragua/Siam neighborhood and Brazil registration overlay. Brazil rounded inner shape is the building; larger rectangle is grounds. Nicaragua is distinctly labeled beside Siam, outside Brazil parcel. Brazil four-extrema fit cannot reconcile all differences with the later Sanborn footprint. September 7 parent inspected actual south national district crop[5900,6500,6780,7100]: Russia parcel below Great Britain, west of Sweden. This is the parcel later used by Holland according to B015. Earlier worker crop at the inherited Holland position only showed Nicaragua, and cannot locate Holland. September 7 parent inspected Sweden/Austria native context and independent overlay. Sweden parcel[6426,6625.5],[6546.5,6629],[6550,6762],[6425.5,6758.5] is grounds, not walls. Austria has no completed wall controls in this early map. Its new T is fitted approximately within its parcel and kept clear of Sweden; not survey registration.
These identifiers are copied from the catalogue and may describe the digitized copy or its parent volume. They still need confirmation with the library. A metadata check does not mean the whole work has been read.

What we have examinedThe Pharus map helps us compare building silhouettes, routes and names. Its perspective drawings are useful clues, but they cannot supply surveyed wall positions or heights.

What we have examinedMuseum object record for Evelyn Beatrice Longman’s Victory (object 12.143), a 1903 work cast in 1908. The Met identifies this bronze statuette as a reduction after the monumental version displayed on Festival Hall at the 1904 Louisiana Purchase Exposition. Its description reports a male allegorical figure with arms raised overhead, oak leaves and laurel wreath, short cuirass, acanthus-patterned greaves and head fillet. No public image is included because the page states its image cannot be enlarged or downloaded.

What we have examinedThis view shows water breaking into uneven sheets over the Cascade lips, small arcing jets, and a much taller jet in the Basin. It helps us give those different flows their own character. The photograph cannot tell us the exact flow rates, nozzle designs or timing, and distance hides much of the finer masonry and sculpture.

What we have examinedThis close view makes the tall window frames, layered entrance arch and cornice easier to read.
