The Living New Deal Founder Gray Brechin and Director Richard Walker
with Harold Porcher, Swann Auction Galleries

The Living New Deal began at the Department of Geography at the UC Berkeley as a student project to inventory, map and interpret the New Deal in California. Now a nonprofit organization, the Living New Deal is documenting the New Deal’s vast imprint nationwide. The hub of the Living New Deal is an interactive map ([link removed]) of public works and art of New Deal provenance. The growing databank, now comprising nearly 17,000 unique sites, is crowdsourced by volunteers who use the Living New Deal iPhone app ([link removed]) to upload photos, locations and descriptions of their discoveries. A premier resource for the history, politics, programs and personalities of the New Deal-era, livingnewdeal.org ([link removed] ) received more than a million visits last year.
