Title: State publications, 1932-1935.

The function of this series is to document federal relief in Alabama. There is a biennial report, forms book, a publication of the same name describing the policies, organizations, and other aspects of the Alabama Relief Administration (ARA); a publication of the same name detailing various aspects of the Rural Rehabilitation Program, a research bulletin on landlord-tenant relations, and a field report on the Transient Bureau. Of particular interest is the organizational chart of the ARA, with B. M. Miller, Governor, and the ARA Board consisting of Algernon Blair, Donald Comer, John H. Peach, Gessner McCorvey, and Grover C. Hall, with Thad Holt as Director. The biennial report also contains information of note, including a map of FERA projects in Alabama, details about policy formulation and changes, and details about all of the various relief efforts in the forms of narratives, statistics, charts, and maps down to the county level. The field report of Ranald Savery to the Transient Bureau details his four weeks of travels through Alabama as a transient. He began in Mobile, traveled to Pensacola, Florida, then back into Alabama at Flomaton, Montgomery, Birmingham, Florence, Athens, Gadsden, back to Birmingham, Montgomery, and the Mobile area. The report is very specific and many stories about individuals are given in it.
