Carol:  Every state had an "annual" publication showing a group photo of
the enrollees and cadre, usually in fron of the camp sign.  Also check out
the National Association of Civilian Conservation Corps Alumni.  The last
(1992) address I have for them is:

There are whole books on the CCC.  E-mail me and I will send you a short
bibliography.

Dear List members,

My students and I are currently involved in the archaeological study of a
Civilian Conservation Corps camp in Shenandoah National Park.  We spent
this past summer locating the structures, work areas, roads, etc., and are
now beginning to synthesize our findings.  This has been a very challenging
and rewarding project.  I was struck by the lack of historical
documentation on the organization and work of individual camps; we had one
map and only a few photographs from which to work.  Fortunately, the
project also involved meeting with some of the remaining 'boys' who lived
at the camp from 1933-36.  We took them to the site and had the opportunity
to ask them lots of questions (including the big one:  did we correctly
identify the buildings, which are now marked only by lines of post holes?).


In an attempt to expand our horizons, I have been searching for articles
and books on the archaeology of the recent past and am particularly
interested in reading about theoretical approaches. Database searches are
not turning up much.    Do you have suggestions?
Thanks,
