Category:Work Projects Administration Poster Collection

The Works Progress Administration was the largest and most ambitious American New Deal agency. Established in 1935, it was renamed the Work Projects Administration in 1939. The WPA was dissolved June 30, 1943.

The WPA employed millions of people to carry out public works projects, including the construction of public buildings and roads. The WPA's Federal Project Number One employed musicians, artists, writers, actors and directors in arts, drama, media and literacy projects.

Most posters collected in this category were created by the Federal Art Project.

WPA Posters at the Library of Congress

Both tif and jpg format versions of the same scans are included in this category. When adding categories the jpg version is preferred for Wikimedia projects due to size and more accurate rendering of thumbnail versions. To create cropped versions or other derived images, the tifs are normally significantly higher resolution as a starting point. Any derived versions should be created as new jpgs linking back to the original.
