  • Federal Writers' Project
    Federal Writers' Project From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia Poster advertising a Federal Writers' Project publication. The Federal Writers' Project (FWP) was a United States federal government project to fund written work and support writers during the Great Depression . It was part of the Works Projects Administration , a New Deal program. It was one of four New Deal arts programs known collectively as Federal One . FWP was particularly charged with employing writers, editors, historians, researchers, art critics, archaeologists, geologists and cartographers. Some 6,600 individuals were employed by the FWP. Established in July 27 1935, the Writers' Project operated under journalist and theatrical producer Henry Alsberg , and later John D. Newsome , and produced local histories, oral histories, ethnographies, children's books and 48 state guides to America (plus Alaska Territory , Puerto Rico and D.C. )—the American Guide Series publications contained detailed histories of each state with descriptions of every city and town. In every state the personnel comprised a small non-relief staff of editors and a much larger group of fieldworkers drawn from local rolls; many of these had never graduated high school, but most had formerly held white collar jobs of some sort. Among the thousands who worked on the project were Conrad Aiken , Nelson Algren , Nathan Asch , Arna Bontemps , John Cheever , Kenneth Rexroth , Studs Terkel , and Richard Wright . Blakey (2005) estimates that at any one time the Indiana office had fewer than 150 men and women on the payroll. Fieldworkers made about eighty dollars a month, working twenty to thirty hours a week. A majority were women.

  • The Federal Writers' Project: a Guide to Materials Held at the British Library
    The Federal Writers’ Project: A guide to materials held at the British Library Compiled by Jean Petrovic Eccles Centre for American Studies 2013 The Federal Writers’ Project: A guide to materials held at the British Library CONTENTS: Introduction American Guide Series Other Publications The Federal Writers’ Project: a bibliography Introduction The Federal Writers’ Project (FWP) was established by President Franklin D Roosevelt on 27 July 1935 as part of the Works Progress Administration (WPA). As with so many of the New Deal programmes, the remit of the FWP – and its sister projects in art, music and theatre, known collectively as Federal One – was totally unprecedented. Prior to Federal One, the so-called ‘Alphabet Agencies’ of Roosevelt’s Administration had focused their relief upon the provision of jobs to blue-collar workers in large-scale public works projects, primarily in construction and conservation. Yet, white-collar workers were not immune to the devastating impact of the Depression. In early 1935 the Writers Union and the Unemployed Writers Association demanded government action. Six months later, the four relief projects for those qualified in the fields of writing, art, music and drama were announced. Whilst the FWP was primarily created to provide economic relief, its highly ambitious first Director, Henry Alsberg, also regarded it as a means by which to vividly document America’s rapidly changing cultural landscape. Alongside the permanent staff in Washington DC, each state employed an editorial team responsible for hiring local field workers able to prove that they were on relief; at its peak, the Project employed more than 7,500 people.

But I believe it has rarely happened that a work should be published with more than a third of it left out and without the reviewers being aware of the fact. This doubtful distinction has fallen to the lot of my work on Russia. The story of that painful experience might well make another chapter, but for the present it is sufficient to give the bare facts of the case. My manuscript was sent to the original purchaser in two parts, at different times. Subsequently the publishing house of Doubleday, Page & Co. bought the rights to my work, but when the first printed copies reached me I discovered to my dismay that not only had my original title, “My Two Years in Russia,” been changed to “My Disillusionment in Russia,” but that the last twelve chapters were entirely missing, including my Afterword which is, at least to myself, the most vital part. There followed an exchange of cables and letters, which gradually elicited the fact that Doubleday, Page & Co.

This project represented an example of the highest evolution of work relief philosophy of the New Deal during the depression of the 1930's. Unlike previous work relief pro­ grams, the Federal Writers' Project sought to employ people in their chosen profession. This task was accomplished with the establishment I 2 of writers' projects in each state under the guidance of a national office. The major goal of these individual projects was to research, write and edit a state guidebook.

  • The Alabama Writers' Project and Its Contributions to American History
    A New Deal for Writers: The Alabama Writers’ Project and Its Contributions to American History by Hesper Eileen Montford A thesis submitted to the Graduate Faculty of Auburn University in partial fulfillment of the requirements for the Degree of Master of Arts Auburn, Alabama December 14, 2013 Keywords: Federal Writers’ Project, Alabama, Guidebook, Oral History, Works Progress Administration Copyright 2013 by Hesper Eileen Montford Approved by David C. Carter, Chair, Associate Professor of History Reagan Grimsley, Assistant Professor of History Eden Knudsen McLean, Assistant Professor of History Abstract At the height of the Great Depression and the New Deal, administrators and staff of the Federal Writers’ Project embarked on a series of literary undertakings to uncover and restore the nation’s cultural and historical landscape. Amongst the most popular and significant of these assignments were the American Guide Series and Oral History Projects. Under these projects, staff produced guidebooks for every state, conducted and transcribed thousands of interviews with former slaves and ordinary Americans, and documented America’s folk traditions. This thesis serves to fill a gap in the historiography of the Federal Writers’ Project by examining its efforts at the state level in Alabama. It analyzes Alabama’s contribution to the Guidebook and Oral History Projects by exploring and evaluating the Alabama Project, its staff, and its accomplishments. It traces the background and organization of the Alabama Writers’ Project, reviews the guidelines and constraints placed upon administrators and workers, examines Alabama’s personnel and their achievements, and assesses materials it produced. Although scholars and the public neglected the Project’s materials for decades, this thesis claims that the guidebook and oral histories reshaped perceptions of the state’s culture and history.
