From April 8, 1935 through June 30, 1943, the United States authorized the creation and funding of the Works Progress Administration as part of Roosevelt's New Deal.

Eventually renamed the Work Projects Administration in 1939, materials classified as historical documents were created on a variety of topics, including general historical accounts of communities throughout the United States. This information is still being referenced in 2014, which is a testament to the value of the investment into such record-keeping efforts being part of the unemployment solution needed at the time.

Despite war-time efforts frequently detracting attention needed to be focused towards the broader economy during World War II, the Return On Investment (or ROI) from paying people to gather and record facts continues to carry forth in a variety of ways.

Not everything that is recorded will make it into a digital format, but participants in Wikipedia have tended to produce fairly reliable map of keywords, even if certain facts and/or figures are determined to be be materially inaccurate or simply outdated. I do not need to be employed by anyone to have interest in a variety of topics related to my community-at-large (although I consider myself to be that of an author/artist), nor do I expect to receive compensation from Wikipedia in any manner for my efforts. Authors can donate their time and skills as I believe I have done with the hope of value for a reader to have been left behind.
