Scope and Content Note

This series consists of a binder of typed minutes which served as the official record of the meetings held by the Panama-Pacific Exposition Commission to plan and promote the New York State exhibits at this exposition. It appears that minutes from many of the meetings are copies, indicating that this binder contains the copies of the minutes sent to the governor for his information. The minutes summarize discussions of such matters as: exhibit site selection; architectural plans for the exhibit building; solicitation of exhibitions; exhibit proposals and progress; and contract bids.

Also included at the beginning of the volume is a copy of the legislation establishing the commission.
