    3. Patti -- Would this be what y'all are looking for? Loretta Hefner, *The WPA Historical Records Survey: a guide to the unpublished inventories, indexes, and transcriptions.* Chicago: Society of American Archivists, 1980. I'm not sure if it has been digitized, but if you google the first portion of the title in quotes you will find a useful-looking compilation from 2011 by a reference librarian. Harold Harold Henderson, CG midwestroots.net *Finding Ancestors in Fort Wayne: The Genealogist's Unofficial One-Stop Guide to the Allen County Public Library Genealogy Center * http://www.midwestroots.net/ <http://www.midwestroots.net/wp-content/uploads/2013/03/ACPLGC-April-2013.pdf> Certified Genealogist (SM) No. 1029 Certified Genealogist and CG are proprietary service marks of the Board for Certification of Genealogists® used by the Board to identify its program of genealogical competency evaluation and used under license by the Board’s associates.

    3. There is also "Check List of Historical Record Survey Publications Bibliography of Research Projects Reports" by Sargent B. Child and Dorothy P. Holmes. WPA Technical Series. No. 7, Revised April 1943. Baltimore: GPC, 1969). Use this with the one Harold recommended - there is some great stuff for genealogy! I have an outline for an all-day seminar I gave in 2008 at Angelina College Genealogy Conference: FDR’s “New Deal” Genealogy -- 20 pgs without my notes. Anyone is welcome to it but you must send me a private email and give me your full name and location (town/state); I like to keep track of where I send my lectures to .... and normally I do not send them to people in the greater Houston area as I repeat the lecture in smaller segments, etc. ~ Trevia Trevia Wooster Beverly Houston, Texas 713-864-6862 [email protected] Corresponding Secretary, Harris County Historical Commission (1995-) - http://www.historicalcommission.hctx.net/ Chairman, Advisory Council, Baytown Historical Preservation Assoc.
