FLUSHING—To honor the 75th and 50th anniversaries of the two World's Fairs that NYC hosted, which are coming up in 2014, the Museum of the City of New York and the Queens Museum of Art are collaborating to catalog every bit of ephemera that they have on file about those two milestone events. Organizing everything related to the 1939/40 and 1964/65 New York World's Fairs will take about 18 months, and includes poring through guidebooks, photographs, postcards, maps, exhibition designs, explanatory pamphlets, and more. To keep tabs on what bits and bobs they're discovering along the way, check out the Tumblr they're keeping throughout the process. [CurbedWire Inbox; official]
