Did my part to support the Post Office and bought the poster version of one of the awesome WPA stamps they released. It finally arrived to fill one of the last blank spaces on my wall!
[Description: A framed image of a postage stamp that itself was drawn from a WPA poster, showing a farmer and a construction worker shaking hands over a sheaf of wheat labeled PROSPERITY, under a banner reading WORK PAYS AMERICA!]
NARA Film Preservation Unit Serves State and City Level Colleagues
By Larry Shockley, Archives Specialist, Office of Innovation | The Unwritten Record
One of the more rewarding aspects of working for an institution such as the National Archives is our ability to serve archival colleagues at state and local levels. A recent trip to the West Virginia Archives and History provided one such opportunity. While I was conducting preliminary research for an upcoming DOCUMERICA-inspired project titled DocuWestVirginia, the Audiovisual Archivist for the West Virginia Archives; Dick Fauss asked me if the National Archives had a better quality version of a rare film that was released in 1940 by the National Youth Administration (NYA).
The National Youth Administration (NYA)
Established by the Works Progress Administration (WPA) in 1935 and later transferred to the Federal Security Agency (FSA) in 1939, the NYA provided part-time work for needy students and training programs for unemployed youth. In 1939, film makers visited an Ordnance Plant in South Charleston, West Virginia. There were fifteen shop units located in the facility and the film covered the creation of airplane parts, the building of dormitories, the making Army cots, sheet metal work, and Morse Code training.
