Biographical History

The Work Projects Administration (W.P.A.) was created by Franklin D. Roosevelt's presidential order in 1935 and became the largest New Deal agency, employing millions of people and affecting almost everywhere in the United States. The W.P.A. provided jobs and income to unemployed Americans during the Great Depression and was integral in building up the nation's infrastructure and operating arts, media, literacy, and recreation projects for Americans.

From the description of Elizabeth Arndt collection of Works Projects Administration recreation programs and reports, 1939-1941. (Georgia Historical Society). WorldCat record id: 641676650
