Photographs from Futurama
Description
An account of the resource
Two images show "the world of tomorrow" at General Motors' famous exhibit for the 1939 World's Fair in New York City. Gleaming skyscrapers evoke the recently constructed Chrysler and Empire State Buildings. Its multi-laned highways, however, still were a proposed vision whose fruition came after World War II. These images appear in OpenValley in connection with the <a href="https://cdn.knightlab.com/libs/timeline3/latest/embed/index.html?source=1oYnni2nGfehzRnF55P-XlaNXrIeBxgLdKI34Sfo85g4&font=Default&lang=en&initial_zoom=2&height=650" target="_blank" rel="noopener">"Displacements"</a> timeline created for the New Deal Gallery.

Title
A name given to the resource
Summer in New York State
Description
An account of the resource
Published a year after the conclusion of World War II, the tone of this 36-page travel guide to New York is on of making up for lost time. "With motor travel again unlimited," we are told, "New York's 59,000 miles of improved highways beckon the autoist to enjoy the State's attractions from the vantage-point of his own conveyance." Clearly, the automotive age has begun in earnest.
The state is divided into fifteen regional "Vacationlands," including the Genesee Valley and Finger Lakes. There are thematic sections highlighting activities for seemingly any taste: Fishing, Swimming, Hiking, Camping, Motoring, Historic Shrines... even Flowers and Geology make an appearance. It's an intriguing glimpse into the early trajectory of postwar tourism, which still is relatively outdoors-centered in its emphasis.
