Vital Statistics 1870 - 1940 Board
"WPA Project 6664."
A board with birth certificates in use from 1870 to 1940, corrected names, and death certificates.
May, 1940
Bulletin Board prepared by Project for May 17, 1940, demonstration of all WPA projects, in rotunda in the City Hall. Later placed in front entrance of 401, where it remained for the next 7 months and was of a great deal of interest to persons who came in to inquire about their births records. At this time a great demand on the vital statistics records was made because of the defense program, and the need for individuals to establish citizenship though birth certificates.
