This collection is comprised primarily of materials created in preparation of and during the Cotton States and International Exposition of 1895. The bulk of the collection is programs and publications that detail daily events and highlight exposition participants. Of particular interest is a series of souvenirs collected by individuals that attended the exposition as well as postcards and a pass issued for an employee of the Atlanta Journal with his photograph affixed to one side. Also, included with the souvenirs are passes issued for special admission days such as Collier Day, Atlanta Day, and Directors and Womans Board Day.
