Snapshot of an Era : Uncovering our New Deal Past
November 27, 2007 - May 30, 2008
Special Collections Reading Room and Donor Hall, Love Library
The 1930s saw fundamental changes throughout our nation. Across San Diego and the new San Diego State campus, the federal government’s radically different social, political, and economic policies would influence the varied ways in which the college grew and changed for decades to come.
New Deal agencies like the Works Progress Administration, Federal Emergency Relief Administration, and National Youth Administration would play major roles in the lives of faculty, staff, and students, and would shape the future of both the campus and the city. This exhibit is presented in conjunction with the unveiling of the recently restored Depression-era mural, “NRA Packages” in the library.
