Historical Note

The Works Progress Administration (W.P.A.) was established in May 1935 as a central organ of control for the relief projects supported by the United States Government. Taking over responsibility for the work relief programs of the Federal Emergency Relief Administration (F.E.R.A.), which went out of existence at the end of 1935, it became the major agency in efforts to provide work assistance for the unemployed during the later depression years. An independent agency at first, on July 1, 1939, it became part of the new Federal Works Agency and its title was changed to Work Projects Administration. It was abolished on June 30, 1943, and finally liquidated a year later.

In Connecticut, Senator Matthew A. Daly was appointed State Administrator on June 8, 1935. Offices were opened in New Haven, with later district offices in several other cities. F.E.R.A. projects, workers and officials were quickly transferred to W.P.A. and additional new programs were developed rapidly; by November over 15,000 persons were on the rolls, and by the end of March 1936, 28,671 persons were at work on 963 different projects in Connecticut.

Scope and Content

Most of these records relate almost exclusively to the Writers’ Project. The Writers’ Project was initiated was initiated late in 1935 as a part of the Federal Project No. 1, which also embraced programs in art, music and the theater and was later to include the Historical Records Survey. Federal sponsorship ended in July 1939, but most of the projects were carried on with local sponsors (in many cases the State Library). The first undertaking of the Writers’ Project was the preparation of the Connecticut volume of the American Guide series, published in 1938. Subsequently many other manuscripts and reports were written¹, most of them intended for publication by State or local government sponsors.

Also included are records of the Architectural Survey, Historic American Buildings Survey, Historical Records Survey, Church Records Survey, Manuscripts Inventory, Federal Art Project and American Imprints Inventory.²

The record of other W.P.A. programs in Connecticut must presumably be sought in the files now in the National Archives or among the archives of sponsor agencies in Connecticut.

Endnotes

¹As early as January 15, 1936, a newsletter indicated that the editors had completed the copy on tours for the Guide, staff workers were studying ethnic group organizations for another major project, material was being collected for a guide to New Haven parks, people were conducting interviews for a folklore survey, the architectural survey group were getting out reports on 4,500 old houses and planning a booklet on Connecticut architecture and a series of town histories was projected.

²A good brief account of white collar projects in Connecticut, including a partial list of projects, is in Professional and Service Division, Connecticut WPA (New Haven: Works Projects Administration, 1940?), mimeo, 31, XIV pp. A copy is in Box 333.

Related Material

Headquarter records of the W.P.A. are in the National Archives, Washington, D.C. Records of the Connecticut State W.P.A. other than those which came to the State Library have not been located; some of them may possibly be in the hands of project sponsors or State government agencies.

RG 012, Connecticut State Library. Contains correspondence and other materials pertaining to sponsorship projects by the State Library.

RG 032, Emergency Relief Commission, 1933-1937. Contains some materials on F.E.R.A. projects that were completed by W.P.A.

Copies of many W.P.A. publications as well as photostats of some unpublished manuscripts are in the book collection of the State Library; most of those produced by the Connecticut Writers' Project are also in this record group.

Papers originally a part of this record group pertaining to the "History of the New Haven Theatre" were withdrawn by the W.P.A. and deposited with the Yale University Drama School, May 4, 1942. Those pertaining to the "Guide to the United States Coast Guard Academy" were withdrawn by the W.P.A. on August 18, 1942 to be turned over to Devon-Adair, prospective publishers.

Administrative Information

Provenance

Most of the records in this record group were transferred to the State Library in May 1942, although some were stored in the Sterling Library of Yale University until 1950. The latter included the files of the Historical Records Survey (many of them later destroyed or lost) and the American Imprints Inventory.

Processing Information

These records were found in 1972 to be in a state of confusion. The reasons are many and were probably unavoidable: the rather sudden closing of the W.P.A. program left little time for orderly retirement of files; workers often were occupied with several projects simultaneously and mixed their papers together; materials used for one project (the Guide, for example) were often used later for another project and thus separated from related papers; turnover of staff and changes of assignment often left incomplete files; records were moved several repacked after arriving at the State Library. The result is that the archival integrity of the records had been much impaired and could not be fully restored. It has been impossible, for example, to distinguish clearly between head office files and those of the district offices. A number of the series listed below are artificial groupings of materials which probably did not exist as such in the W.P.A. offices. Wherever it could be done, the original arrangement of papers has been restored; when that was impossible, records have been grouped by project of subject as seemed most useful. The record group still contains a great deal of duplication, although a substantial amount of material was destroyed after appraisal. Other records (including substantial map materials are known to have been destroyed some years ago.

Series 2. Guide
		The American Guide series was one of the first, and in the event, one of the most successful of W.P.A.'s white-collar projects. For Connecticut the guide was published in 1938 by Houghton Mifflin under the title Connecticut: A Guide to its Roads, Lore and People. Work on it began in the latter months of 1935 with a staff controlled from the New Haven Office but working from several district offices as well. Project workers ("field writers") gathered factual material from various sources and reduced it to reports called "field continuity". This was then rewritten into "field edited copy" and later to "State edited copy" which was sent to Washington for clearance. Thus many files are marked "FC", "FEC", or "SEC". The later printer's copy and galley proofs have been discarded, along with many duplicates and slight variants of the edited copy. What remains, in items 9-14 below, itself contains a great deal of duplication.
		These files reflect the structure of the Guide, and other information materials about towns and their people, industries, buildings, parks and recreational facilities. There are also chapters on agriculture, art, education, Indian lore, music, architecture, etc.

Series 3. New England Guide
		This guide, apparently never published, was intended (like the state guides) to be made up of tour descriptions, chapters on history, cultural resources and activities, industry and commerce, labor, etc., and accounts of selected cities and scenic and recreation areas.

Series 8. Ethnic Groups Survey, Accession: 1942-012
		A survey of the racial make-up of Connecticut formed one chapter of the Guide. This project, a much more extensive exploration of the same subject, was sponsored by the Yale University Department of Sociology. It resulted in the collection of a large amount of material on the various ethnic groups in the state and the preparation of a number of studies, not all of which were published.
		The project files were found in a state of extreme confusion; a few groups and series could be reconstructed, but the present arrangement is for the most part a rough grouping of similar materials under broad headings.
		The researcher is warned that folder titles are often inaccurate or incomplete. The following is a list (probably incomplete) of finished and edited studies:

Series 11. Hartford Flood
		The disastrous storm and flood of March 1936 led W.P.A. officials to turn their efforts wherever possible to assistance, relief and rehabilitation programs. The Writers' Project assigned many of its people to collecting information to document the story of the disaster, of people's reactions to it, and of the rehabilitation work. In Hartford a special effort was made, at the Mayor's request, to prepare a history of the flood, but it appears never to have been completed.

Series 17. Studies of New England Life
		The New England Regional Office planned a study in 1938 to consist of sketches of individual New Englanders in varying occupations and of different ethnic origins. The text of the proposed book was intended to be presented largely in the words of the subjects, describing their own lives, but with accompanying historical and folklore material. Nothing appears to have been published, but the project remained active for several years in Connecticut and a good deal of preparatory material was collected. The plan underwent several modifications and was known at different times as "Living lore in New England", "Living in New England", "Working in New England", "Men at Work" and "Hands that built New England".

Series 28. Architectural Survey, Census of Old Buildings,
		This project began as a part of the task of compiling material for the guidebook Connecticut, A Guide to its Roads, Lore, and People. Mr. Elmer D. Keith, who had edited the important Colonial Dames books on historic Connecticut houses, was responsible for "the architectural end." Using the Colonial Dames books, the Heermance (State Planning Board) guide, and actual one-day visits to each town by members of his small staff, he compiled form reports on nearly 5,000 buildings, illustrated with photographs, and also prepared descriptions of nearly all towns, with reference to their historic buildings.

Series 29. Historic American Buildings Survey
		The Survey, whose purpose was "the creation of a permanent graphic record of the existing architectural remains of early dwellers in this country", was first organized as a Federal project under the Civil Works Administration in November 1933. It was continued under the Emergency Relief Administration and the WPA until June 30, 1937, when the Federal project ended, to be succeeded in Connecticut by a state project sponsored by the State Library. It evidently ceased in June 1939, but a continuing United States agency remained, operated by the National Park Service, with the permanent file of drawings and photographs held by the Library of Congress.

Series 30. Historical Records Survey
		This project, a country-wide effort directed from Washington by Luther Evans, was one of the major white-collar projects. Its principal objective was to make an inventory of public archives in the States, particularly those at the county, city and town level. Standard techniques and forms were developed, and hundreds of thousands of record series were found and described. Eventually several hundred mimeographed inventories of State, county, town and municipal records were published. In Connecticut the project was supervised by Norbert lacy and resulted in the publication of three volumes of lists of town archives (see item 106, box 317). Unfortunately a large quantity of preliminary, unpublished material (described as "65 cases") appears to have been lost or destroyed by the State Library in the 1950s; it evidently included form inventory sheets of town proceedings and other town records for more than a hundred towns.
		A number of other projects were either subordinate to or closely related to the Historical Records Survey. These included the Survey of Federal Archives in the States (which became a part of HRS in July 1937), the Church Records Survey, the Manuscripts Survey and the American Imprints Inventory. All of these were active in Connecticut. The SFA published inventories of several United States agencies in Connecticut (see item 106, box 319), but the State Library has no working papers or draft material. The Church Records Survey completed inventories of the records of several denominations, of which those for the Lutheran and the Protestant Episcopal Churches were published (item 106, box 316); completed by unpublished inventories and working materials are described below.
		The W.P.A. also supported a large number of other records projects in Connecticut (see item 88). Although these were not usually directed by the HRS, the same field workers often took part, and the work may have been carried on simultaneously with that on the town record survey. Much useful work was completed, such as the indexing of town land records, the installation of filing systems for school departments, the making of card lists and indexes of property records for local taxation purposes, and the indexing of vital records.

Series 33. Federal Art Project
		This project was the successor, on November 02, 1935, to the former Public Works of Art Project of FERA. Its purpose was to utilize the services of unemployed professional artists for the production of paintings, murals, sculptures and other works of art which could be used to decorate public buildings and for other educational and cultural purposes. A valuable unit of the project was the Index of American Design, which employed artists to copy and thus preserve design elements of earlier American history, such as costumes, ceramics, glass, furniture, tapestries, wall coverings, etc. A 37-page mimeographed "Preliminary checklist of American portraits, 1620-1825, found in Connecticut" is in Box 333.

Series 34. American Imprints Inventory
		This was a nationwide effort to locate all copies of all items published in the United States prior to 1877. Workers transcribed information for library catalogs, and their slips were later checked and typed, with the ribbon copy going to a central office and a carbon to the file in the custody of the sponsor, the State Library. The central file is now in the custody of Rutgers University. This project became the basis for the National Union Catalog.
