"Illuminations: Revisiting
BuffaloÕs Pan-American Exposition"
"Illuminations: Revisiting BuffaloÕs
Pan-American Exposition," a series of collaborative, on-site and on-line
exhibitions produced by the University Libraries and Special Collections
illustrating the cultural and historical underpinnings of BuffaloÕs
1901 Pan American Exposition, is on display in the libraries across
the campuses. Each library will offer on-site and on-line exhibitions
focused on its own area of expertise:
-
Lockwood Memorial
Library, North Campus, will mount exhibitions of varying themes. One
will focus on the experiences of BuffaloÕs ethnic minorities and their
experiences of the Pan American Exposition; another, "Food, Drink
and Eating at the Pan-American Exposition: Images, Memories and Analysis,"
will address the abundant and diverse food and drink served at the
exposition. A third Lockwood exhibition will focus on the works of
more than 650 American artists, as well as artists from Canada and
Latin America, that were shown at the Pan Am. It also will exhibit
aspects of the expositionÕs grounds and the work of those who contributed
to the overall mis en scene of the Pan Am.

Collections and Poetry Collection in Capen Hall will present an exhibition
titled, "Land, Lust and Murder: An Expose of Historic Deeds Done Circa
1901."

Am to be shown by the Health Sciences Library in Abbott Hall, South
Campus, in its exhibit, "Birth, Death and Everything in Between: Keeping
