HUD History resource: HUD has recently made available online a trove of historical documents that will be of interest to historians of US housing policy and civil rights. The archive is searchable here by year. (See also our 2015 HUD 50th Anniversary civil rights timeline)
The document scanning project began in October 2017 after a HUD Library patron donated a complete set of annual reports from the Federal Housing Administration (FHA) dating from its incorporation in 1935 until its merger with HUD in the 1960s. These reports to Congress document annual housing statistics, new regulations, and economic activity in the housing industry. This rich data source offers scholars a snapshot of federal government involvement in the housing industry during that period.
