Roosevelt's New Deal, as a work program for those facing unemployment as a result of the Great Depression. The WPA's stated purpose was to provide opportunities for unemployed workers to use and preserve their skills through public works projects, as well as arts and culture initiatives such as the Federal Arts Project, Federal Theatre Project, and Federal Writers' Project. Renamed the Works Projects Administration in 1939, its programs and projects provided work for approximately 8.5 million people over its eight years, coming to an end in 1943 with the boom in employment provided by the new wartime economy.","In 1935, soon after the establishment of the WPA, Pennsylvania began a Museum Extension Project, also known as the State-Wide Museum Extension, with the purpose of creating visual educational aids for classroom use. The Museum Extension Project employed artists, sculptors, and writers to create historic models, puppets, illustrated plates, and maps to be used throughout Pennsylvania's school districts, particularly those without easy access to the larger museums. The program had seven offices throughout the state, centered in Harrisburg, Pittsburgh, and Philadelphia, with the latter office co-sponsored with the Philadelphia Museum of Art, the Academy of Natural Sciences, the Atwater Kent Museum (now known as the Philadelphia History Museum), and the University of Pennsylvania Museum of Archeology and Anthropology.","Processing and finding aid completed by Meghan Glasbrenner in March 2024.","The Special Collections Research Center holds other Works Progress Administration collections, including the Works Progress Administration oral histories collection, and Federal Theatre Project photograph collection.","This collection includes a Benjamin Franklin puppet and 7 individual pieces of miniature wooden furniture.","The Benjamin Franklin puppet measures approximately 22 inches in length and includes a papier-mâché head, a rounded cap filled with straw, and some strings showing possible use as a marionette. The left foot is detached and placed inside the box next to the puppet. Label inside of jacket reads: \"State-Wide Museum Extension Philadelphia Unit W.P.A.\"","The miniature furniture pieces each measure approximately 6 inches or less in length and are mostly desks and tables, as well as one standing candelabra and a spinning wheel attached to a colorful fabric rug.
