The Civilian Conservation Corps (CCC) was created as part of President Franklin D. Roosevelt's New Deal to fight the Great Depression. CCC was a public works relief program established with the passage of the Emergency Conservation Work Act of 1933. There were some fifty CCC camps in Illinois, and eight of them were located along the I&M Canal and Illinois Waterway. The CCC I&M Canal Photographs collection largely covers the work of only three of those eight camps (614, 1609, and 2601), all at Starved Rock State Park, in Utica.
