Wed Dec 4 22:02:56 EST 2019

Dear Friends, I am honored to have been selected to give this year’s prestigious Paul Robertson Endowed Lecture for the Book Club of California.

I will be giving the illustrated talk twice: on December 11 in Pasadena and on December 16 in San Francisco.

The presentation will touch on the astounding innovation across a half century of American World’s Fairs, from 1915 through 1965.

Both lectures are free, but you need to register! See the link here for a fuller description and registration for each. Be sure to select the one in your area. I hope to see some of my friends in the audiences.

Feel free to pass this along to any history-loving friends,

Best, Laura

A Fair View of Progress: Half a Century of Innovation
at 20th Century Expositions 

International Expositions, also called World’s Fairs, have showcased innovation since their inception. The major U.S. World’s Fairs in the 50 years between 1915 and 1965 displayed leaps forward in areas including transportation, communication, entertainment, and even recommendations on how Americans should live. Some of these new concept were unqualified successes, while some proved perilous missteps. Laura Ackley will transport us through half a century of significant advances shown at U.S. World’s Fairs, discussing how they stood the test of time.

An illustrated talk by Laura A. Ackley, author of the award-winning book San Francisco’s Jewel City: The Panama-Pacific International Exposition.
