Works Progress Administration (WPA) The Works Progress Administration (WPA) was instituted by presidential executive order under the Emergency Relief Appropriation Act of April 1935, to generate public jobs for the unemployed. The WPA was restructured in 1939 when it was reassigned to the Federal Works Agency.
The Historical Records Survey under the WPA created many inventories and records which have benefited the entire genealogical research community. The WPA was established as the Work Projects Administration by executive order on 6 May 1935. In 1939 the agency's name was changed to Works Progress Administration. Before the agency was liquidated in 1943, it became the biggest relief program in U.S. history, providing employment for millions of people.
