The Federal Writers' Project began in 1935 under President Franklin Delano Roosevelt’s New Deal program, as part of the Works
Progress Administration. Employing writers, researchers, editors, historians, and other field workers, FWP is best known for

institutions, commerce and industry, arts and culture, sports and recreation, local history and folklore, war and civilian
defense, and municipalities and cities, as well as numerous other subjects used toward FWP assignments. The program ended
in 1943 after state and federal sponsorship halted.
