1930's New Deal Programs

The Great Depression led the U.S. government to provide work for unemployed, take care of elderly Americans, and administer welfare. To do so President Franklin Roosevelt created many programs, which he called the New Deal. You can research the State Archives for records about New Deal programs that affected Oklahoma and the nation. There are administrative files and applications from the Civilian Conservation Corps (CCC), documents from the state's Work Progress Administration (WPA), and photographss from the Federal Emergency Relief Administration. Also the files of the Office of Governor contain numerous materials.
