Eyewitness Accounts Crash. Living History Farm. January 9, 2013. <http://www.livinghistoryfarm.org/farminginthe30s/money_01.html>. When we were looking for how farming was in the post WW1 recession, we found a website that gave us information about the history of farming starting from 1920 to the present. On Living History Farm, we were able to use two people's stock market crash story. We learned how farmers and rural citizens felt the impact of the crash. The Crash of 1929. American Experience. December 17, 2012. <http://www.pbs.org/wgbh/americanexperience/features/introduction/ crashintroduction/>. We wanted more firsthand accounts and the perspective of people who were in that time frame. American Experience made a documentary about the stock market crash and on the website, we were able to access interviews and resources that they used. These interviews were important because the people were salesmen in the NYSE or lived through the crash.

"This was real panic". Eyewitness to History. October 14, 2012. <http://www.eyewitnessto history.com/crash.htm>. Eyewitness to History provides an account by Jonathan Leonard who was a reporter actually at the site of the Wall Street Crash. While there was secondary information, we used his account as a primary source. We were able to get a feel for what the attitude was when the market crashed and all of those investors knew that they lost everything.

Interviews Shannon, David. "Losing the Business: The Donners Recall the Great Depression." History Matters.(interview completed March 15, 1938) April 3, 2013. <http://historymatters.gmu.edu/d/118>. WPA conducted some interviews on how the depression changed the lives of Americans in 1935. One of these families interviewed were the Donners. This interview provided some extra ways for us to see how much people have changed. In the Donner's case, Mr. Donner's income reduced by one-thirds and he had to go back to live with his in-laws.

This photograph provided by the Library of Congress shows depositors of a bank crowded around the bank to get their money from the bank. The fact that they were waiting to get inside in the rain shows how desperate people were and shows how the situation was in the times of the bank runs and bank failures.

One of the more famous photographs of the Great Depression is the one taken by Lange showing a mother with a troubled expression with her kids. We felt that we needed to have this powerful photograph in our website because of how famous it is and how well known it is.

Lange, Dorothea. People living in miserable poverty, Elm Grove, Oklahoma County, Oklahoma. 1936. Farm Security Administration/Office of War Information Black-and-White Negatives. Library of Congress.

They have ragged clothes and a run-down shack. This captures the level of hardship and how hard living in the Great Depression was. Having a picture like this one in our website helps us show not just tell how the Depression was difficult to lead a normal life in.

The image helped us illustrate the fact that after World War 1, the United States went into a recession due to the sudden loss of wartime production.

During the Great Depression, seeing people lined up outside of soup kitchens was not an uncommon sight. We found this picture from the National Archives. The particular soup kitchen found in the picture was actually opened by Al Capone and we found that a little surprising but it was a soup kitchen.

It was essential that we had a group of various pictures because a website needs them.

Speeches Hoover, Herbert. Campaign Speech. October 22, 1932. Detroit Olympia Arena. In our research we found out that Hoover felt that he was doing good with the economy and that the situation in the United States was getting better. This address to the Detroit crowd in 1932 shows that. He said that the Democratic House of Representatives were not cooperating and that the recovery process would have been faster. We were shocked to see that Hoover was so confident under the situation that the country was in.

Web Articles "Becoming Modern: America in the 1920's." America in Class. National Humanities Center. April 3, 2013. <http://americainclass.org/sources/becomingmodern/>.

On Wikipedia, we found a chart of the Dow Jones Industrial Average to support our post world war one recession. We wanted a visual way to show how this recession affected the U.S. economy. The chart showed an increase until the area of 1919, when World War One ended. The lack of jobs in the factories building weapons, ammunition, ships, tanks, etc. created a noticeable decline in the unemployment rate.

On American Banker we found an article from an American Banker newspaper that says that the Glass-Steagall Bill is ready to be signed by President Roosevelt. Next to the article we found a picture that showed that newspapers front cover. We used the picture of the cover in our section about the Glass-Steagall Act. Great Depression. Wikipedia. February 11, 2013. February 16, 2013. <http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Great_Depression>. When we looked up pictures of the Great Depression, we found a link to Wikipedia. We used Wikipedia strictly for their pictures. There was a variety of pictures that captivated the depression from the stock market crash to the Dust Bowl. We also greatly appreciated the charts and graphs that they included in their website. We used a chart that showed the unemployment rate from when the stock market crashed to when the United States got out of the Depression highlighted. There was also an image that captured a crowd outside of the Stock Exchange on the day of the crash.

The article provided by the FDIC was about its history as an insurance corporation. It breaks down its history into three main parts.

We have a part of our project that talks about the Glass-Steagall Act (Banking Act of 1933) and this picture shows Roosevelt along with Senator Carter Glass, and Representative Henry Steagall so we thought that this would fit along nicely.

Cain was a stock salesman at the time of the crash. He shares his experiences and memories.

TTC Media. "1929 Stock Market Crash." YouTube. YouTube. 14 Nov. 2011. 17 Jan. 2013. <https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=i2ep3OyX0gM>. While conducting research, we found out that there were people that had different approaches on handling the stock market crash. This video source is about a former financial writer who expresses his perspective on reviving the stock market. We found B.C. Forbes analysis important because after the crash, he believed that people should buy stocks and that they will make a profit. This was interesting because the stock market just crashed and he told people to buy stocks again.
