	Biographical/Historical:	The Civilian Conservation Corps (CCC) began in 1933 as a part of President Franklin D. Roosevelt's New Deal relief program. A federal program, the CCC worked in connection with the U.S. Army, the Departments of the Interior, Agriculture, and Labor, and the National Park Service to provide work relief for single, unemployed men between the ages of 18 and 25. Later, World War I veterans were also able to join the CCC. Paid $30 a month, with $25 of the pay sent home to their families, the enrollees lived in army-style camps and worked on forestry, soil reclamation, park construction, and fire suppression projects. Enrollees generally signed up for six-month stints. The CCC remained in operation until 1942, when World War II diverted energies and money away from federal relief programs. Florida maintained an annual average of 25 CCC camps throughout the program's existence, two of which were Camp P-63 and Camp Joseph E Johnson. Camp P-63 (the P referred to Private Forest) was established in Bronson (Levy County), Florida, in June 1933 and run by CCC company 1431. Camp Joseph E. Johnson was established in Jacksonville in November 1917 and was the first facility for the training of quartermaster personnel.
	Summary:	The collection consists of photographs documenting some of the Civilian Conservation Corps camps in Florida. It contains eight images of CCC camp P-63 in Bronson (Levy County), Florida. There are also two rolled group portraits: one of Camp Joseph E. Johnson and one of Camp Charles Burgoyne, plus an aerial image of Ft. Clinch State Park, and a couple of unidentified images.
