My Favorite PPIE images

From UC Berkeley page with map and this from International Harvester.

I have spent hours and hours (and hours) looking through PPIE pictures for photos related to the Avenue of Palms, Horticulture Palace, the California Nursery, and George Roeding. There are several places that just are so fun that I will go back and look at them periodically.

• A fly through time and space to show the evolution of the PPIE. "Dream City: A History of San Francisco Bay".
• Map of the PPIE with links. If you just want to see a map and nothing more.
• Map overlay, georeferenced, of San Francisco 1915 to today's map: David Rumsey map "San Francisco and Vicinity". You can use the slider to make the map overlay transparent! Anyone can overlay old maps onto current day maps using the georeferencer. It's quite addictive.
• Eye candy - UCSC's Branson DeCou's beautiful collection of lantern slides of the PPIE. The slides are beautifully hand colored black and white images. Hand-colored photos were more common at the time than Autochrome photographs that were true color photos. Compare the hand-colored slides with the Autochrome slides. See DeCou's Dream Pictures.
• San Francisco Public Library's San Francisco History Center's collection of PPIE photos, digitized by subject. This is where I first found the Niles palms in SF. SFPL got PPIE photos as well as Bancroft Library.
• President C.C. Moore's albums, volume 1, volume 2, volume 3.  Really nice pictures.
• Frank Morton Todd's five volume book Story of the Exposition. Many pictures and a lot of details.
• The HistoryPin collection "Mapping of San Francisco's 1915 World's Fair" is very interesting, although not stable. It has a map of the Exposition on top of today's map.  Then pictures pinned to their location on the map. The PPIE collection started with the SFPL photos and has since added others from UC Davis and Swanton railway and elsewhere. Some pictures are misplaced, but you can make a comment if you know where they should be and maybe someone will move it some day. You can also create your own tour of the PPIE, such as these: ("Planting the Avenue of Palms", "The Mesembryanthemum Hedge", "Visiting the Palace of Horticulture").
• CSU Fresno's huge collection of World's Fair photos, including 2348 of PPIE.
• Bancroft Library's collections. Cardinell-Vincent's Views of the Panama-Pacific International Exposition, 1915. Cardinell-Vincent was a later photograph company, so there are some earlier photos somewhere. Will add those when I find them.
