1893 Columbian Expo records?



I've got a patron looking for archival records documenting the 1893 World's
Columbian Exposition in Chicago.  He's on the track of several published
histories and websites, but wondered which repositories hold the larger
collections of material.  I see in my old NHPRC Directory of Archival
Repositories that both the Art Institute of Chicago and the Chicago Public
Library have related holdings, but perhaps some list members might have
some insider info.

The patron is specifically seeking information on the Michigan exhibit in
the Mines and Minerals Building -- photographs, descriptions, individuals
and companies involved, etc.

Any assistance will be greatly appreciated.
