Description:
Current holdings include a variety of items, such as photographs and posters, from the Louisiana State Museum, the Louisiana State Archives and Tulane University Library Special Collections that document social, political and economic life during the 1920s and 1930s. Camp newsletters from Tulane's Special Collections contain valuable information about depression-era Louisiana. They also reveal efforts of the Civilian Conservation Corps to provide depression relief and job training especially in rural areas of the state. Documents from the Louisiana State Archives provide information concerning the activities of Hoover's Unemployment Relief Committee in Louisiana. These documents also reveal the critical 1932-1933 economic and political transition from the demise of Hoover's Unemployment Relief Administration to the beginning of Franklin Roosevelt's Federal Emergency Relief Administration.
