Sponsors' reports, 1935-1943.

http://www.worldcat.org/oclc/122515975

This series contains certifications of sponsors' contributions (WPA Forms 710, 741 or 710a) and statements of sponsors' agreements with respect to cash deposits. Sponsors included federal agencies, states and territories, and other public bodies. The sponsor was identified at the time a project was proposed. Once a proposal was accepted, the sponsor had a large measure of direct responsibility for the prosecution of the project. The WPA sponsored federal projects of a nationwide character until 1939. In these cases, the WPA was known as the official sponsor and public agencies were designated as cooperating sponsors.
