Biographical History
The Works Progress Administration was a New Deal agency that provided jobs to unemployed workers on public projects sponsored by federal, state, or local agencies. One of its programs was the Federal Writer's Project, which was organized in 1935 to give employment to writers, editors, historians, researchers, art critics, archaeologists, geologists, and map draftsmen. One of the projects under the Federal Writer's Project was the American Guide, a series of geographical-social-historical portraits of the states, cities, and localities of the entire United States. Field workers gathered information in their communities and wrote short informational papers that were forwarded to district offices for compilation into state guides. Indiana's guide was first published in September 1941 and utilizes some of the material found in this collection.
