Hello all,
I am not sure if this is in the correct section, as it is not strictly print, so I apologize in advance, and Bartender, please move to the correct forum if not.
I have been turned on to an iPad app called "NYPL: Biblion". It's concerned with the 1939-40 world's fair in New York, and it contains video, photographs, documents and much more, all from the New York Public Library archives.
All this information and its free! More information is here:

This thing is fantastic!

Spectacular!
The NYPL is a resource second only to The Library of Congress. The holdings, the history-all stored deep under Bryant Park- are vast!
Nevermind I was arrested under the leftmost arch, on the granite steps, between the Lions (Patience & Fortitude) in the front of the Library. I was doing more than just reading between the Lions, so to speak.
It was the early eighties. Youthful indiscretion...let's leave it at that...mumble...
THANKS for the link!!!
