The E-Sylum: Volume 5, Number 2, January 13, 2002, Article 3 EXPOSITION MEDAL RESEARCH Jan Monroe writes: "In response to Geoff Bell's request, it depends on what exhibitions he is interested in. I suggest the following book for a general overview of world exhibitions: "The Story of Exhibitions" by Kenneth W. Luckhurst, published by The Studio Publications, London & New York, 1951. It has a nice bibliography. I am currently writing a book on State Anniversary Medals which has an extensive bibliography for each state celebration. I can suggest one book that I recently acquired entitled "he History of the Trans-Missippi and International Exhibition of 1898", by James B. Haynes, 1910. This book describes the medals given to the executive committee and the president on pages 325 and 326. Pages 154 and 155 describe the souvenir "coins" and award medals struck by the U.S. Mint, and page 257 has a table showing the number of gold, silver, and bronze award medals issued by category (Manufacturing, Mining, Agriculture etc.) I can say that collecting these original source books is great fun!"
