I believe at one time, John Schleppi of the Minor Leagues committee compiled a list, including photos of the WPA plaques from each ballpark.
I have plenty of raw data on the WPA ballpark in Clinton, Iowa, and I've never really done anything with it. I definitely would be interested in collaborating on a larger project.

Good morning,
I got to talking with a colleague of mine about Carnegie Libraries across the country, and it made me think of WPA ballparks built in the days of FDR's New Deal.
I would like to query this group, and ask if there has been any significant research done on WPA ballparks, as in, is there a list of these ballparks with photos, and such? And if not, would anybody be interested in collaborating on a project with me?
After some Googling, I started coming up with a rough list, but figured that with the bunch of bright folks we have in SABR, surely somebody's invented this wheel already.
Any information, or advice would be greatly appreciated.
warm regards,
Anthony Salazar
