Yes, this is a periodic table of the New Deal. On June 16, 1933, the period known as FDR’s First 100 Days came to an end. During this time Roosevelt had issued proclamations and executive orders and pushed a steady stream of legislation through Congress to relieve economic hardship, stimulate recovery, and forge reforms. As FDR put it, “The country needs and… the country demands bold, persistent experimentation. It is common sense to take a method and try it. If it fails, admit it frankly and try another. But above all, try something.” To help navigate the myriad programs, players and events surrounding the New Deal, the FDR Library’s Education Chemist, er, we mean, Education Specialist has devised a Periodic Table of the New Deal. The table includes definitions and descriptions of the many programs and so-called alphabet agencies created during the New Deal.  To get the full features of this interactive guide we recommend exploring it here. For more information about the start of the New Deal here’s a guide to a recent Special Exhibition at the FDR Library & Museum: Action, and Action Now: FDR’s First 100 Days.  What alphabet agencies do you recognize from the table?
