GUIDE TO THE LIVING NEW DEAL WEBSITE
WE ARE PLEASED THAT YOU FOUND US!
Our website has grown very large;
this brief navigation guide should help you discover all the riches within…
How to Navigate
There are several ways to move through this website: menus, buttons, links and scrolling. It’s simple once you get the hang of it.
The first thing you see is the HOME PAGE, which features the most current information. You can return to it from any other page by clicking “Living New Deal” in the top banner.
At the top of every page is a blue MENU stripe containing the titles of all the major sections of the site: About Us, New Deal Sites, The New Deal, Resources, News, Press & Events, Get Involved and Donate.
Click on any MENU TITLE to go to that section. Pull down any MENU TITLE for a list of subsections and click to go the section of your choice. Every section has many pages.
Below the menu stripe is a large BANNER with images; click on any of those to go to featured content, such as the National Map, the Green New Deal or What Was the New Deal?
Scroll down the HOME PAGE to view its four sections: New Deal Map, New Deal News, New Deal Resources and Get Involved. The first features recent additions to our National Map; the second shows recent News items; the third has buttons to key Resources; the fourth highlights Events, Comments and ways to help out.
A SEARCH icon is found in the upper right corner of every page; it allows Keyword Searches (multiple words OK) and an Advanced Search of New Deal sites.
Throughout the Home Page you will find BUTTONS and LINKS to click if you want to go to specific sections for more information, sign up for our mailing list or volunteer information.

About Us: The Living New Deal works to maintain the legacy of the New Deal, educate Americans about the benefits of good government, and promote the ideas and ideals of the New Deal for public policy today. You can find information about our mission, our boards and team, and the history of the Living New Deal project.
New Deal Sites: Our goal is to document the hundred thousand plus New Deal public works sites, such as city halls, schools and parks, and map them for everyone to see. They appear as dots on our National Map, which is easily navigated and searched. Click a dot to find what’s at that site; click again for a full description and photographs. You can also find pages on individual states, lists of projects by state and city, and maps of New York City and San Francisco.

There are summaries of over 60 New Deal laws & programs; a New Deal timeline; sketches of New Dealers; briefs on the New Deal’s economic; essays on the New Deal’s policies for disadvantaged Americans; and photographic essays on working together and the good feelings of participants in the New Deal.
