Hey Rachel, and the rest of the Histarch Community, 

I did my Master's thesis on a CCC camp in the Alleghany National Forest, and then compared the results to a CCC Camp in New Mexico, and a CCC Camp in Oregon. Contact me if you are interested in getting a copy.  I've had a lot of luck talking to archaeologists from the Forest Service, as they have been working with these resources for years, and come up with some really ingenious ways of presenting them to the public.  The United States Fish and Wildlife service has just completed a large survey of the history of the CCC and published it online (http://www.fws.gov/historicpreservation/).  At the very least, check out Monica Smith's 2001 article in Historical Archaeology 'The Archaeology of a "Destroyed" Site: Surface Survey and Historical Documents at the Civilian Conservation Corps Camp, Bandelier National Monument, New Mexico' (This can be found online for free through the SHA's publication explorer).  I'm happy to see other archaeologists are investigating these important sites, and think that new methodologies need to be developed to deal with these sites, as the normal way of doing archaeology doesn't work well.
