Gay Bolling Shepperson was the administrator of three successive federal relief projects in Georgia: the Civil Works Administration (CWA), the Federal Emergency Relief Administration (FERA), and the Works Progress Administration (WPA). This remarkable collection from the Atlanta History Center brings together images that document the activities of these various entities in the 1930s and 1940s. Visitors will find images of President Franklin Roosevelt, photographs of infrastructure projects in rural and urban Georgia, and images of classes and classrooms created via these projects. Visitors can search the entire collection or they can browse around by date, title, and contributing agency.
