Three million young men, from families in poverty due to the Great Depression, joined the CCC;s from 1933 to 1942. Some of these men also then enlisted to serve in World War II. 

Here are links to good resources to start your exploration.

The National Archives of the United States. I know that the search in their expansive catalogue is intimidating and difficult for most people but they did recently announced it had been reworked. My suggestion is that you open an account with them and then use the Ask the Archivist opportunity to get to where you want to be with these records.

The next link is to a blog and website that someone put up on the internet years ago that was a true labor of love. I want to honor that person for all the information they have provided to us.  It features so much information including state by state guides that is useful. Topics such as soil conservation and segregation have their own pages.  Many THANKS to that person...
