The article mentions the U.S. Works Progress Administration (WPA) Historical Records Survey in Missouri to list manuscripts, church records, and public records in county offices and make those records more easily accessible during the 1930s and beyond. Topics discussed include the complexity of conducting a huge statewide inventory of records, transcribing county court record books up through 1878, and poverty issues.
