The Alaska-Yukon-Pacific Exposition Community website is a collaborative project of Heritage 4Culture and HistoryLink, with support from Seattle’s Office of Arts & Cultural Affairs, for the benefit of all heritage and arts organizations commemorating the 2009 anniversary of the Alaska-Yukon-Pacific Exposition. The website is also the result of dozens of heritage groups, arts organizations, individual researchers, and artists submitting information and ideas that contribute to the success of all projects.

Welcome to the Alaska-Yukon-Pacific Exposition Community website!

AYP Exposition Image The A-Y-P Exposition Community website is a virtual gathering spot for individuals and organizations working on projects related to the 2009 commemoration of the Alaska-Yukon-Pacific Exposition. The A-Y-P Exposition was held from June 1, 1909 to October 16, 1909 on what is now the campus of the University of Washington in Seattle. More than 3.7 million people visited the exhibits. In 2009, individuals and organizations in Seattle, King County, and Washington State will present exciting projects that tell the story of how the 1909 event changed the course of local history and influences the region today.

The A-Y-P Exposition Community website helps heritage and arts organizations, as well as individual researchers and artists, share information, request help, and learn about the progress of their peers’ work. We invite you to browse our list of individuals and organizations with A-Y-P centennial projects and survey the projects each one is developing.

Third-Party Articles: A-Y-P-E and Women's Suffrag
Blogger Deborah Schneider at Cactus Rose of the Wild Rose Press discusses the Convention of the National American Woman Suffrage Association held in July 1909 as the A-Y-P-E was happening. "Suffrage leaders from throughout the country converged on Seattle and a special train was provided from Chicago to Seattle by the Northern Pacific Railroad," Schneider writes. "This train was dubbed The Suffrage Special, and it made stops all along the route to court public opinion, add members to their contingent and gain the attention of the newspapers to generate support for their efforts." Here's a link to the blog post.
