(November 6, 2021, virtual.) We have two speakers, a business meeting, awards, prizes, and a member contribution project/powerpoint. Thomas MacEntee will present a Genealogy Escape Room with a focus on an ancestor involved with a New Deal Program. Michael Strauss will present The New Deal: Putting Your Ancestors to Work. The member contribution powerpoint is focused on sharing our research and our ancestors that may have worked in or benefitted from any of the New Deal programs. We hope that like last year, our members want to share their research and submit a document. We are looking for any document or research that shows an ancestor was linked to any New Deal Program. The documents may be records from the CCC or a death certificate noting the ancestor was employed in the WPA Sewing Project. Our members responded positively last year to the project. https://livingnewdeal.org/about/ New Deal Programs Agricultural Adjustment Act (1933, Reauthorized 1938) Alley Dwelling Authority (1934) Armed Forces and National Defense Industries Army Corps of Engineers (1802) Art & Culture Projects of the Federal Emergency Relief Administration (FERA) (1934) Bankhead-Jones Farm Tenant Act (1937) Banking Act (1935) Bonneville Power Administration (BPA) (1937) Bureau of Public Roads (BPR) (1918) – renamed Public Roads Administration (1939) Bureau of Reclamation (1902) Civil Aeronautics Act (1938) Civil Works Administration (CWA) (1933) Civilian Conservation Corps (CCC) (1933) Communications Act (1934) Emergency Banking Relief Act (1933) Fair Labor Standards Act (1938) Farm Credit Act (1933) Federal Deposit Insurance Corporation (FDIC) (1933) Federal Emergency Relief Act (1933) Federal Emergency Relief Administration (FERA) (1933) Federal Parks Reorganization (1933) Federal Project Number One (Federal One) (1935) Federal Art Project (FAP) (1935) Federal Music Project (FMP) (1935) Federal Writers’ Project (FWP) (1935) Federal Theatre Project (FTP) (1935) Historical Records Survey (HRS) (1935) Federal Security Agency (FSA) (1939) Federal Surplus Commodities Corporation (FSCC) (1933)– named Federal Surplus Relief Corporation (1933-1935), then Federal Surplus Commodities Corporation (1935-1940) Federal Works Agency (FWA) (1939) Fish and Wildlife Conservation Acts (1934) Glass-Steagall Banking Act (1933) Gold Reserve Act (1934) Home Owners’ Loan Act (1933) Indian Reorganization Act (1934) National Housing Act (1934) National Industrial Recovery Act (1933) National Labor Relations Act (Wagner Act) (1935) National Youth Administration (NYA) (1935) Post Office Department (1792) Public Buildings Administration (PBA) (1939) Public Works Administration (PWA) (1933) Public Works of Art Project (PWAP) (1933) Puerto Rico Reconstruction Administration (PRRA) (1935) Reconstruction Finance Corporation (1932-1957) Repeal of Prohibition (1933) Resettlement Administration (RA) (1935) Robinson-Patman Act (1936) Rural Electrification Act (1936) Rural Electrification Administration (REA) (1935) Section of Fine Arts (1934) – >called Treasury Section of Painting and Sculpture from 1934-1938, then Section of Fine Arts from 1938-1943 Securities Act (1933) & Securities Exchange Act (1934) Social Security Act (1935) Soil Conservation Act (1935) Soil Conservation Service (SCS) (1935) Taylor Grazing Act (1934) Tennessee Valley Authority (TVA) (1933) Travel Bureau (1937) Treasury, Public Buildings Branch (PBB) (1933) – called Public Works Branch from 1933-1935, then Public Buildings Branch from 1935-1939 Treasury Relief Art Project (TRAP) (1935) United States Housing Act (1937) Virgin Islands Company (1934) Wagner-Peyser Act / United States Employment Service (1933) Works Progress Administration (WPA) (1935) – renamed Work Projects Administration (1939) To plan ahead, I would like to consider now and announce on Nov 6, 2021, that the 2022 Annual Meeting will be live in person, on Nov 5, 2022.
