This series contains the primary documentation for the initiation, administration and completion of individual projects in Wisconsin supported partly or completely by the Work Projects Administration (WPA). Most of the documents in each project folder are completed WPA standard forms, such as the following: Project Applications, Project Proposals, Advice of Allotment, Report of Completed or Discontinued Project, Report of Physical Accomplishment, and Statement of Project Estimate Detail. These forms provide detailed information on estimated and actual costs allocated by source of funds for wages, eqipment and other costs. Copies of easements, permits, and construction plans are occasionally included, as well as monthly status forms compiled by the state administrator. Narrative descriptions of projects are generally brief. A card index to projects arranged by counties, (WIHV 1688-A), is located at the Wisconsin State Historical Society.
