The Living New Deal is a research project and online public archive documenting the scope and impact of the New Deal on Americans’ lives and landscape. Its research arm is based at the Department of Geography at the University of California, Berkeley and its policy arm is a California non-profit corporation. The centerpiece of the Living New Deal is a website that catalogs and maps the location of public works projects and artworks created from 1933-1941 under the aegis of federal government during the administration of President Franklin D. Roosevelt. This online catalog identifies thousands of New Deal sites and pinpoints them on an interactive map. Sites can be searched by name, city, state, category, and agency. The website and its growing database show the vast imprint the New Deal had across the nation. The Living New Deal website was selected as one of the 10 best new sites on the web for 2014 by ''Slate Magazine''.〔(Slate Magazine Top Websites of 2014, Dec. 30, 2014 )〕 A constellation of economic stimulus policies and social programs enacted to lift America out of the Great Depression, the New Deal touched every state, city, town, and rural area, yet there is no national record of what the New Deal built, only bits and pieces found in local and national archives, published sources, and on occasional plaques and markers. This represents an enormous gap in the historic record and a collective failure of memory. The Living New Deal's goal is to uncover every New Deal public works site in all fifty states and build a public archive of photographs, documents, films, and stories from this pivotal period. In addition to the online archive, the Living New Deal works to preserve the legacy of the New Deal by: *Acting as a clearinghouse for (New Deal news ) and discussion. * 抄文引用元・出典: フリー百科事典『 ウィキペディア（Wikipedia）』 ■ウィキペディアで「Living New Deal」の詳細全文を読む スポンサード リンク
