Description: This photograph shows an aerial photograph of Warren, Ohio located in Trumbull County in northeastern Ohio. This photograph is one of the many visual materials collected for use in the Ohio Guide. In 1935, President Franklin D. Roosevelt established the Works Progress Administration by executive order to create jobs for the large numbers of unemployed laborers, as well as artists, musicians, actors, and writers. The Federal Arts Program, a sector of the Works Progress Administration, included the Federal Writers’ Project, one of the primary goals of which was to complete the America Guide series, a series of guidebooks for each state which included state history, art, architecture, music, literature, and points of interest to the major cities and tours throughout the state. Work on the Ohio Guide began in 1935 with the publication of several pamphlets and brochures. The Reorganization Act of 1939 consolidated the Works Progress Administration and other agencies into the Federal Works Administration, and the Federal Writers’ Project became the Federal Writers’ Project in Ohio. The final product was published in 1940 and went through several editions. The Ohio Guide Collection consists of 4,769 photographs collected for use in Ohio Guide and other publications of the Federal Writers’ Project in Ohio from 1935-1939. View on Ohio Memory.

Description: Caption reads: "Church at Kinsman." The church depicted in the photo is currently known as the Kinsman Presbyterian Church, located in Kinsman, Ohio in Trumbull County. Organized in 1803 by Rev. Mr. Tate and Rev. Joseph Badger, the Hartford-Vernon-Kinsman Church served the communities of these neighboring areas until between 1823 and 1825, when separate churches were formed at Hartford and Gustavus. In 1831, Kinsman formed a separate church which came to be called the First United Congregational and Presbyterian Church. Plans were laid for a new building in 1831 through 1832, at a cost approaching four thousand dollars, with one fourth of the expenses paid by Mrs. Rebecca Kinsman. Worship services were first held in the new building in August 1833. Designed by master architect William Smith, the church was modeled after a church in New Haven, Connecticut called the Old North Church. View on Ohio Memory.

Description: Printed in 1912 by Typographical Label in Warren, Ohio, in Trumbull County, this poster distributed by the Ohio Woman Suffrage Association advocates women's right to vote as the way women can fight for a minimum wage and combat poor working conditions. The Ohio Woman Suffrage Association (OWSA) was established in 1869. The organization worked closely with local and national suffrage groups including the National Association for Woman Suffrage. OWSA disbanded with the passage of the 19th Amendment granting women the right to vote in 1920. Many of its members joined the League of Women Voters, established in 1920 to help support the new rights of women voters. View on Ohio Memory.

Description: Photograph of "Romance of Steel, Old" painted by Glenn M. Shaw in 1938. The painting is located at a post office in Warren, Ohio in Trumbull County. Photographed by Connie Girard in 1988. The photo is from the Ohio Post Office Artwork Collection, AV 48. The collection represents thirty murals or plaster reliefs installed in twenty-five Ohio post offices between 1937 and 1943. In 1988, Connie Girard photographed the artwork. Photos were published in the article “Not By Bread Alone, Post Office Art of the New Deal.” Timeline. June-July 1989, p. 2-19 by Gerald Markowitz and Marlene Park. In 1932, when Franklin Delano Roosevelt was elected President he promised Americans a "New Deal" and created public works programs to provide jobs for the millions of unemployed people, including artists. Ten thousand unknown and established artists were commissioned by the government to create murals, paintings, photographs, posters, prints and sculpture. The goal was not only to employ artists, but also to bring fine art into the daily lives of all people. The Public Works of Art Project (PWAP) was funded for six months in 1933 – 1934. The PWAP was succeeded by the Treasury Department’s Section of Painting and Sculpture. Organized in 1934 the Section of Painting and Sculpture operated until 1943. Under the auspices of this organization sixty-six new Ohio post offices received artwork. The majority of the post offices were located in small towns. Post offices were chosen as a location for artwork because, particularly in small towns, they were centers of community activity. Most of the painted murals or murals in plaster relief created are realistic images reflecting the history, common activities or major industries of the communities in which the post offices are located.
