What is Washington, City and Capital.: Federal Writers' Project, Works Progress Administration ... Washington, 1937 about?
Focusing on the District of Columbia this is one of the "Cities" which merited it's own book in the American Guide Series of the Federal Writers' Project of the Works Progress Administration (WPA).The Federal Writers' Project was created in 1935 as part of the United States Work Progress Administration to provide employment for historians, teachers, writers, librarians, and other white-collar workers. Originally, the purpose of the project was to produce a series of sectional guide books under the name American Guide, focusing on the scenic, historical, cultural, and economic resources of the United States. Eventually new programs were developed and projects begun under the Federal Emergency Relief Administration were absorbed by the Writers' Project. From its inception in 1935 through late 1939, the Federal Writers' Project was directed by Henry Alsberg.
