The stamps and postmarks of the exposition say "Alaska-Yukon-Pacific", but I'm supposed to be at work and can't investigate this yet. Stan 19:10 23 Jul 2003 (UTC)

There is a great deal of information on AYPE philatelic issues in Postal Markings of United States Expositions, by William J. Bomar. This is currently available (5/30/2005); one source is the Jim Mehrer's Postal History.

The campus

"The fair was set up on what is now the campus of the University of Washington, an area which was mostly undeveloped at the time." It only had a few buildings, but it had been the university campus for about a decade. The school was still pretty small. In any case, I think "what is now" should go. - 69.17.114.183 (talk) 07:07, 23 March 2008 (UTC)[reply]

Tons of new images

I've uploaded several hundred images from the AYPE at Commons:Category:Alaska-Yukon-Pacific Exposition. I'm still in the process of cropping and cleaning them up, but here are some of the more remarkable ones:

Official map of the A.Y.P.E. grounds
Section francaise de beaux-arts (catalogue officiel)
Cover of A-Y-P edition of The Argus
Back cover, ad for Malt Rainier tonic
A color photo of Mount Rainier
Westlake Boulevard
A color photo of a parade on Second Avenue

And many more where that came from. Feel free to use if useful. :-) I'll also be looking for other articles that may have use of them. Dcoetzee 02:57, 1 May 2009 (UTC)[reply]

"Last known remnants"

From the article: "Drumheller Fountain is one of the last known remnants from the 1909 fair." Architecture Hall, the Women's Building and (just outside the official site and present-day campus) the College Inn Pub are all "remnants". So should this sentence go? - Jmabel | Talk 06:34, 9 August 2010 (UTC)[reply]

External Link Cleanup and Addition

A number of external links on this page no longer work. I intend to remove or replace these links and also add a link to the Seattle Public Library's Alaska Yukon Pacific Exposition Digital Collection which contains almost 100 articles, brochures, catalogs, directories, guides, reports, and other related materials. If no one objects, I will perform these edits next week on 10/14/2013. SternaAlbifrons (talk) 23:58, 9 October 2013 (UTC)[reply]
