Civilian Conservation Corps Archives

The Civilian Conservation Corps (CCC) Archives refer to a collection of documents, photographs, and records related to the CCC, a New Deal program established in 1933 during the Great Depression. The CCC employed young men to work on environmental conservation projects, such as reforestation, park building, and flood control, providing them with wages and skills. The archives serve as a historical resource, showcasing the impacts of the CCC on American landscapes and communities, preserving the stories of those who participated, and highlighting the program's role in ecological and social development during a challenging time in U.S. history.
