ABOUT THE PRESENTATION
The Works Progress Administration (WPA) was founded as part
of President Roosevelt's New Deal.
Providing jobs for over 8.5 million people, they were instrumental in
compiling many records that are valuable to genealogists today. Many of the
indexes and records we use today were compiled by the WPA; those unemployed
professionals who were ‘put to work’ in the days following the Great
Depression.
ABOUT THE SPEAKER
