Archives of the Work Projects Administration and Predecessors, 1933-1943: Final State Reports for the Federal Music Project, the Federal Art Project, the Museum Extension Project, the Federal Theatre Project, and the Federal Writers' Project
This collection of the papers of the Work Projects Administration (WPA) illustrate the remarkable breadth of issues tackled in the arts, professional activities and public administration. The Final State Reports are indispensable to an understanding of the way in which the New Deal moved into areas previously considered to be outside the role of the Federal Government. The individual Project Reports for each state describe the breadth of the programs the Federal Government funded. A sampling of some of the creative and socially oriented programs within given states include the Music Program, the Writers' Project, the Adult Education Program, the Workers Service Program, the Feeding Program, the Health Program, among others.
