Organized to publicize the development of the Pacific Northwest, the AYP was located on the small but growing University of Washington-Seattle campus. Then, as now, Canada was one of the US\u2019 most important trading partners, so it is no surprise that both the Government of Canada and the Grand Trunk Railway (which would eventually become Canadian National Railways) chose to participate with their own exhibit buildings.<\/p>\n<p>Neither exhibit building exists today. However, hundreds of photographs and postcards of these buildings and other AYP exhibit buildings, as well as various paper memorabilia, can be found in the Libraries\u2019 Special Collections Division. Approximately 1,200 photographs and prints of the AYP have been digitized and are available online through the Libraries\u2019 website (<a href=\"http:\/\/www.lib.washington.edu\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">http:\/\/www.lib.washington.edu<\/a>).<\/p>\n<p>Browsing these photographs, one is struck by how, even a century ago, the Government of Canada was able to use stereotypes successfully to promote the country. For example, the Canada Building\u2019s exhibit on Canadian beavers \u2013 which included two tanks with live beavers \u2013 slyly noted that Canada beavers are \u201cthe earliest known wood cutters and dam builders in the world.\u201d A magazine of the day described the Canada Building as epitomizing \u201cthe abounding prosperity of which even now Canada is mistress, and of the still rosier future to which she is destined.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>In celebration of the AYP\u2019s centennial, Special Collections staff has created three exhibits focusing on the fair. Located in the Suzzallo Exhibit Room, the Allen balcony, and the Special Collections lobby, the exhibits will run through October 30. Be sure to visit our website or stop by in person and view the photos of the beaver exhibit!<\/p>\n<p><i>Sion Romaine has served as Canadian Studies Librarian since joining the UW staff in 2006.
