The Works Progress Administration (WPA) was established in 1935 by executive order of President Franklin D. Roosevelt and funded by Congress through the Emergency Relief Appropriations Act of 1935.
Description
Headed by Harry L. Hopkins, the WPA offered work to millions of unemployed to construct public buildings and roads, operate arts and literacy projects and much more. In 1939 the Works Progress Administration became part of the new Federal Works Agency and its title was changed to Work Projects Administration.
It was abolished on June 30, 1943. Print resources: The Works Program no. 4-3 - no. 4-1250 no. 4-1252 - no. 4-1646 CSL Fed Doc Y 3.W 89/2:62/4- Works Progress Administration: [press release]. no. 4-1650 - no. 4-1973 CSL Fed Doc Y 3.W 89/2:62/4-
