"Administrations of the Mayors of New Orleans" is a one-volume work comprising biographical sketches of the city's mayors along with lists of the members of their administrations (the title page actually reads "Mayors of New Orleans, 1803-1936"). It was compiled and edited in 1940 by the Work Projects Administration as WPA project 665-64-3-112 under the direction of Mrs. E. D. Friedrichs, Custodian of the City Hall Archives.
This online version does not include the references used by WPA researchers to compile the biographies and lists of officers. Anyone interested in those references should consult the original work. Generally, those references include the records of the Conseil de Ville, other records in the Archives, contemporary newspapers, and secondary histories/biographies.
We thank volunteer Linda Angelocci for entering the original material into electronic format. Without her work this online version would not be possible.
